YWN and other websites are always excited when a chareidi i appointed to some fancy position, however, this is (almost) always someone who went to college, usually a BT.
The fact is, that for most of the chareidi world these jobs are not just unattainable. they wouldn’t even understand what they are about. It’s a very sad reality.
