I honestly don’t know how this topic turned into -Yes Kollel – No Kollel. I personally think there are people that should learn in Kollel long time and some Not at all. The fact that noone (or very few) here can see this is gray area, not just black & white, questions the intelligence of these posters.
I actually want to discuss the Topic started by the OP.
I did find by some, in the many years that I was in Yeshiva, that some, Not all, had a superior attitude to those who were Baal Habattim. There weren’t a lot like this, but it did exist.
Some had this attitude and would refer to working people as “Farshtunkene Baal Habuss”.
