Agree with SJS.
You are looking in all the wrong places.
Go out of town, and you will find.
The major in-town yeshivas have made a good living discouraging anyone “intelligent” from making a Parnassah (at least within the past 15 years). Don’t expect to find anyone there.
Sounds like you could go for a Skokie boy, or maybe even Lander College/Ohr Hachaim (in KGH). I know of some very serious (learning & Parnassah) boys who came out of Lander College.
Good luck.
The yeshivish crowd thinks you’re too modern because you are pursuing a college degree from a respectable secular university, and the more modern crowd thinks you’re too yeshivish because torah and mitzvos are a serious priority.
But your school administrator blesses you every day, and twice on payday.
