Ok, super. If you’re in college, we’re on the same page. As far as yeshiva giving you a clear picture of what lies ahead, speaking as both the product of the yeshiva world (no pun intended YNW) and having kids in yeshiva now, obvoiusly I agree with you to a limited degree. yeshiva is boot camp, the working world is the combat zone. True, you can be a soldier if you don’t go thru basic training, but nothing prepares you for the jungle than the jungle. Take it from a veteran, I’ve got the scars to prove it.
I’m gobbling down lunch as I type, and need to head home, so have (had?) an easy fast and we’ll talk more next week. –
