There is an idea from the Brisker Rav that there is a majority and a minority when it comes to learning full time.Abaye said Many followed R’Yismael and succeeded and many tried to follow the shitta of R’Shimon and did not succeed. There is a minority who are able to do it, but majority does not follow this way .
