Actual degrees don't really matter as much as intellectual curiosity, good conversation, and general thoughtfulness. There are people with MBAs who haven't cracked a book since school, and there are deep thinkers who never went to college. Compatibility is important, but I don't need to see a guy's resume to know it.

Perfect answer. It's all about comparability. For some that means a degree for others it doesn't.
I have two degrees and my boyfriend has none. For me educational background is a non-issue. But we are very compatible and he's a very intelligent man. I learn a lot from him. I think he learns from me too.
I have a degree but it doesn't make a difference if he has one. I met people with degrees whom didn't get anywhere. Or arrogant people with degrees. Although a degree is truly a great accomplishment its not the end all.

Good point.
When I think "degree", I typically think of someone that is actually able to use it. You don't typically think of the people that have advanced degrees in basket weaving, but they are definitely out there, maybe even the majority of people with degrees.

That's a whole other debate, the "useless" degree versus something like a STEM degree. That one always gets a little heated too. Usually you have the personal enrichment crowd versus the career/job training group.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the "degree for personal enrichment" concept. To me, if a person needs to sit through structured classes to find enrichment, they're not very creative or resourceful. These days, one could easily just hop on the internet and find all kinds of enriching things for free. It's like one massive library.
To quote the movie Good Will Hunting: "You dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a f****** education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the Public Library."
I do prefer women with practical and applicable degrees though. To me, it shows commitment, good decision-making, and forward thinking.

I agree with you and I know that exact line you mentioned in the film. LOL.
IDK, I mentioned intellectual curiosity and like you said, you can get a lot of overall knowledge by just simply just reading, I was a reading maniac when I was a kid, I've haven't been as much the last several years, I should probably start back up, I consider myself a semi-intellectual.
It's not a requirement for me. My husband is a high school drop out and I have a Bachelors. My husband is smart about life. I am smart with books. It's complementary. Everyone has something valuable to offer
