WIY – Sorry, I both love learning and am very capable of doing it and yet I still have an issue with what I call the ‘kollel assumption’, i.e. that every boy must start married life in kollel. I am all for those who are really serious about their learning, and I mean really serious, to spend as long as they can in kollel but I also believe that there are painfully few of those around. Most people seem to think it’s just part of a some kind of school system. They do it because they were put on the conveyor belt in kindergarten and they just keep on the conveyor belt. My mashgiach once told me that nowadays you can put a broomstick in kindergarten and in 20 years it will be in kollel. People go to kollel because that’s just what people do. I know you will probably put me down as one of the “very few people who have an issue who come from a purely ideological standpoint” but I know many people, Roshei Yeshiva, Mashgichim, Maggidei Shiur included, who feel the same way.
As regards the OP, I believe that masechtos kesubos (perek 6 mostly) and makos should help him understand the kesuba and idim zomemim sugyos a bit more than he seems to…
