I recall Rabbi Avogdor Miller ??”? mentioning that if one worked on oneself and it becomes second nature (e.g. always getting up for davening on time) then one still gets rewarded for doing it as it if were difficult.
One does not get “punished” for making it second nature.

True, but these are updated and adopted to the time and place, whereas we seem to be stuck with the winter 19th century dress of some cold European country.
I’ve been to a few weddings where “almost nobody” came and it was a pleasure not being pushed to the 3rd (or 4th) circle by over energetic bochrim.
Just dancing for the sake of making the Chosson [and Kalla] happy.
When did rowdy and mesameach become synonyms?
The nicest wedding I went to had a keyboard with a single loudspeaker and only friends who really knew the couple. It was an amazing affair with EVERYBODY dancing and being happy.
As to “The Wedding Customs”; the list of things that MUST be bought/done grows all the time… yet many of us married for a mere 20+ years never heard of any of them.

While I personally never finished my formal education, I do believe that it helps up to a certain point; everything equal the “educated” person will be offered a job.
But know that salary levels are often based on your formal education; so while you may get the job anyway, you will be paid less than the “educated” candidate. (I don’t think many places will davka take an “uneducated” person in order to be able to pay less.)
BUT HERE’S WHAT I WANT TO ADD TO THE CONVERSATION:
I have often been involved in the interview process and the main reason that ex-Kollel-men don’t get the job offer is because of their reaction when hearing that they are expected to work 9 hours a day; from 9:00 to 18:00 and maybe even a little bit overtime.
The reaction may be subtle but it’s always there: “9 hours w/o an afternoon nap?”

A really caring person would have approached the Rov and discussed it with him, as opposed to posting to YWN.
What do you expect us to do? Guess which shul you went to and contact the Rov ourselves?
Going up to people and commenting “OMG! I can’t believe the way you wife/daughter is [un]dressed” may have an affect.
