Two of the wealthiest people I know, my brother in law who makes 60K a month and one of my best friends who made 40K a month a few years back, have no college degree
I have a degree myself and don't think it really means much TBH. It shows nothing about intelligence BTW - many degrees like business management and many liberal arts degrees are extremely easy to get and ANYBODY can get them
I can make money in retail if i wanted to suck up to the boss and work 100 hours a week . NO thanks I am good it is not worth it.
I have a dead end job and its hard to date let alone move up in retail . That is why I went to college so i can get a better job and support my self and do things on my days off. On top who wants to work a dead end job for the rest of your life.
Some people are perfectly happy and comfortable where they are and don't have any desire to move up -- there is nothing wrong with that. But as a woman, once you have been burned a couple of times by gold digging MEN, you learn that education and income capability are important criteria to look for in a man.

I am sick of working retail so I am going back to college to get my BA in nursing and go from there. I am doing for all the right reasons. My main source of inspiration to become a nurse comes from an innate desire to help people and care for them in times of need. I am also a person who thrives on being challenged and I always have new goals to achieve, so nursing suits me as few other careers offer as much diversity and learning opportunities.
I do not care if a woman finds it not successful enough i am not doing it for a woman I am doing it for me.

I doubt many women would find your career choice as not being successful enough.
that would actually be preferable since he wouldn't have any student loan debt! but that is a topic for a different day. thankfully i think more people are starting to realize that a 4 year university degree isn't the right path for everyone. i don't think your typical woman is going to look down on a man with a solid career and the ambition to go with it just because he lacks a degree. those are just the type of quick filters you're going to have to deal with when dating online.
And then there are those that have neither the solid career/ambition or a degree and are upset that women have a preference for something those men don't have. For that type of man, it becomes the woman's fault for daring to have a preference that excludes him. We see it here all the time.
For the same reason men require a certain age and body type. Biology.
Pretty much. I don't understand the confusion/outrage about women preferring men with college degrees. Why do men prefer fit women? Why do they look down on overweight women when they are equally qualified to be good (if not better) girlfriends, wives, and mothers as fit women??

that doesn't really make sense
Overweight women can't be fit by the definition of the word
The reason women prefer educated men is because they want a higher income earner...but there are plenty of millionaires without a college degree (I know 2 myself)
I don't really care if my date has a degree or not. I just want someone with a brain, who makes enough money to see to his own needs.
On a statistical level, there is a high correlation between degrees and intelligence, but in real life, there are many exceptions to that trend. I lived with a factory mechanic and welder who grew up in devastating poverty and thought Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time was "too basic" for his understanding of physics. A co-worker once spoke with him and later asked me where my boyfriend was getting his graduate degree.
After breaking up with him, I went on two dates with a college graduate from a middle-class background who had grown up with every advantage. He still lived with his parents (while leasing a car that was far too expensive for his salary), had no intellectual pursuits worth commenting on and basically the maturity of a middle schooler. With proper funding, any moron can get a degree.
