Loyal Jew –
“Learning and earning” don’t go together. The rule is to aim for a talmid chacham, which plainly rules out the “earning” part.
Try telling that to the Navi Amos (farmer), Hillel Ha’Zaken (woodchopper), Shammai Ha’Zaken (builder), R’ Eliezer (naval merchant), Shmuel (doctor), Rashi (vintner), Rambam, Ramban (both doctors), and the list goes on…
I guess someone is fulfilling EY Mom’s suggestion to look for older guys!!
