A “bais yaakov type girl”, like any other girl on the planet, can obtain proper training and become an accountant, a nurse, a lawyer, an architect, a doctor, engineer, pharmacist, dentist, physical therapist, programmer or one of a million other professions out there. Sure these jobs involve hard work, but so does being a babysitter, a secretary, a house-cleaner, a cashier, or just being poor because so many of these positions offer small compensation, benefits, and relative job-security.
The training for some of these professions is intense but doable (tens of thousands people do it every year), and can be done in an appropriate quality setting.
I am absolutely shocked that on YWN of all places no one suggested learning Torah — ??? ????? ????? ????? — if it can protect Eretz Yisroel from its enemies it can certainly help with a little cold.
Sorry!! Didn’t mean to steer this thread in the wrong direction. The only thing I can say is that from what you wrote, it sounds like your daughter will thrive in whichever seminary she ends up. May she have much bracha wherever she chooses to study.
That said, I hope lots more people post information about those four places. Good luck!!
I’m not sure whether you would consider a non-Chareidi place, but I cannot say enough good things about Migdal Oz, a beautiful seminary located in Gush Etzion. It is a relatively large place that attracts very intelligent and inspired, motivated girls, mostly from dati le’umi backgrounds, but not exclusively. I have not seen another seminary with as strong a faculty as this place. They are given three meals a day there, which is something that not all seminaries can claim. Moreover, they are located outside of Yerushalayim, which provides students with an ability to focus on their studies. The majority of the girls are Israeli, though there is a sizable group of Americans and other foreign students. If you are interested I can tell you more about this place. As someone who learned in yeshiva for many years, and as a father, it is a very inspiring place to which I would love to send my daughter one day. I think they have a website with information about the place, and maybe also a short video.
