I've only ever dated men with a higher level education.
How about you? Would you date someone who had a lesser education than you, or no?
College education does not intelligence denote. Two of my three husbands have/had no more than a high school education but they are quite intelligent, wordly and capable of carrying on conversations on many different topics.
On the other hand, I prior to getting married this last time, I dated several guys with advanced degrees (one with PhD) who were so boring and self-centered that I did not waste my time on a second date.
Education is not an indicator of anything except how many classes someone slept through. LOL
My husband doesn't have a degree and I have a BA and a MS. He is far from stupid and we can discuss a lot of topics (well, we used to, now it's just money stress talk).
He has a job, I don't have one...
I don't think you need a degree or two to make a good husband or boyfriend.
You may find a diamond out there if you don't have a laundry list...
Kindness, sense of humor, similar morals...these things matter more than if someone has a BA after their name..
Sure. I don't have a college education, but my chosen career field doesn't require one. At least to get in the door anyways. As long as the potential girlfriend has some goals in life and not just wandering around aimlessly, I'd be open to it.
I have no college degree and make more money than any of my friends who got a degree with the exception of one, and he's a chiropractor with his own business. It doesnt make you smarter because you went to college, it usually only means you drank too much and had wild drug orgies...certainly not qualities I look for in a partner. I dont judge women based on the degree of education however, I only look for ones who have a decent job or can contribute financially. Sometimes that means they have a degree, other times not so much. Mostly I prefer someone who isnt a snob and believes that a college degree equates success akin to some type of feudal system hierarchy. People like that I tend to avoid.

I've known some really "educated" people who were quite dull, and lacked commons sense. I've known a couple of people who came from a family that were doing pretty good, definitely upper middle class, verging on wealthy. These people just "hid" out in school getting multiple degrees not getting a job.
Education is one of those things that society puts so much emphasis on that people can use sometimes to avoid the real world.
Academia is not the "real" world. The real world works on deadlines and bottom lines.
