bombmaniac-
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
1) My points have nothing to do with learning in kollel vs. working.
2) There is no distinction made between Jews and non-Jews.
Please take the time to read and understand a post before responding to it. Every single point made in your most recent response was based on an incorrect or incomplete understanding of what I was saying. Perhaps I could have written my post more clearly.
I know there are posters here who have careers which require advanced math and/or scientific knowledge.
There are also posters who hold a Ph.D in one or the other of these subjects.
What are their (your) thoughts on this topic?
