It doesn't matter if you have a degree or are educated or whatever. You can still be just as stupid as someone with just a high school diploma.
I think it's funny how society tends to think that just because you went to college it makes you a smarter and better person than someone who didn't go. What if they chose military service instead of college? Would you think you were still better?
People are people. When it comes to relationships it doesn't matter who went to college and has a "professional" job or who works at the super market. It breaks down to who you are as a person, not what you do to make money. In the end, money doesn't matter.
In theory I agree, but in the real world it's a biggie in how people keep "score"
For the women in this thread that say that they would.
Thank you, you are all sweethearts and I love you all.
And YES, we work....not at a desk, but work our arse off.
You're welcome!
I am a professional but have never cared for "professional" men. All my men are blue collar. I like a man that works with his hands () and knows how to fix things, not call someone to fix them for him.
And yes, my blue collar man makes more than some professional men.
It doesn't make any difference what you do or how hard you work.
I've never worked so hard in all my life with little to show for it or any recognition.
You'll die with a knee full of water and bad hips and a back.
They'll still put you down and laugh at you....because you can't spell "x" or know what "x" means.
It's alright...life goes on.
Honey I'm a terrible speller and I have a couple college degrees. LOL
As long as someone has a legal job, who the heck cares. BTW I love driving through construction zones in the summer and seeing all those solid bodies dripping sweat!!! Poor guys are hot though , but it does make sitting to traffic not so bad.
I don't understand why a college degree makes someone more "career-oriented" when I have met many welders, hair stylists, military folk, mechanics, wood workers, plumbers who I would call career-oriented. I have also met many people with degrees who I don't think are career-oriented, but are very education-oriented (use advanced degrees/getting more degrees to delay entering the workforce).
With that being said, my boyfriend is a veteran and we started dating when he was a cav scout in the army. He was definitely career-oriented, but somehow had this thought that he needed a college education to be with me and that he was "behind" since he would not start college until 26. Honestly, I always saw him as career-oriented (right now eh is a supervisor at a sporting goods store while in college) and goal-oriented.
Thats just it, it can work in any combination and at any level, but only if the people involved dont take social status too seriously or believe that someones profession or wealth, define them as a person.
Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
Also, I think it's silly to link "blue collar" and "white collar" with how much money the person currently makes, the person's future earning potential, or the person's intelligence or lack thereof. One is not objectively better or worse than the other.
For most of us guys who are college educated, we can careless if a woman has a college degree or not but on the flip side for women its the other way around. Some women who are college and career oriented do want a man that's on par with them or higher. I rarely come across educated and professional women that date blue collar men unless if I go visit a small town.
