“However, from an economic point of view,it is beneficial for some Yungeleit who are advancing in age, with growing families, Ke”h, to start seeking part-time employment with the emphasis still being on Learning in the BHM”D.”
Given the uncertainties of these economically hard times, what makes you think any of those long-term kollel guys will be able to easily find and sustain a job of ANY kind, much less one that will support their families? They are prepared for NOTHING, they are uneducated, and even ditch-diggers and construction workers are out of work these days (no offense to either of those occupations; they do a necessary and honest day’s work). So why would anyone think they can one day decide to get a job and it will magically fall down from the sky at their feet? People who are educated in professions are having trouble finding work, kal v’chomer one who hasn’t worked a day in his adult life would probably not fare much better.
