Of course in general it's the degree, but this thread is interesting. For the most part plastic surgery won't automatically make you more attractive, some of them have been all time disasters. But for the sake of this arguement lets Say it makes you really attractive.

If I'm a woman, and I had a choice between between having a degree and being really pretty I'd take being really pretty

But if I'm a man and i have a choice between between being really handsome and having a degree is take the degree(especially if its an impressive one) id take the degree easily.

I'm already handsome so maybe that factors into my decision, but if I wasn't I'd still probably take the degree

Sooo...even when these attractive women get "replaced," they're still better off than a lot of us.
Exactly. Tiger woods wife got 100 million dollars. There not together anymore but she WON.

If Kobe's wife divorced him shed get millions also. But both of those women were only in that position to marry these men because they were attractive

Well, handsome Brad, in general men are attracted by visual beauty but women are attracted to power and in today's society that means money and position. So you're right on target.

I do think it is the duty of every person to try and ensure themselves a secure future financially. Men and women.

Yes, if she goes the surgical route she should really look around for the best possible, not use money as the first criterion.

I got a degree but couldn't enter the work place because I needed surgery. I ended having the surgery but need a re-do. So I still can't really get ahead at work.

Yet many doors for entry level jobs won't open without the degree. So not going to school is a risk; only people who really have a vision for themselves should not go.

The real truth is people have to be obedient to their inner voice that tells them what to do. Life is organized- if you are supposed to get surgery, you will. If you don't go to school and the inner voice tells you you should, you won't be happy.

I guess I have to find that inner voice.

Well,as I've said throughout this forum,people are known to get better treatment if they are attractive.
You could even ask people who were obese who got thinner. Most say they get better treatment now.
You probably don't have to worry about being ignored,cursed at, etc. So of course I wouldn't expect you to know what I'm going through.
