I'll just speak for myself and say that I never thought at all about how much someone made or what their earning potential was. When I was engaged to my ex - I figured that if we decided to have children, I'd probably be the one that would have to find a higher paying job and put my performing career on hold for awhile if I wasn't where I wanted to be by the time we had children - if we decided to have children. He was a guitar player - a really good one - but I felt that I had the higher earning potential for a "day" job type job if it came down to it. And I was okay with that. This didn't have anything to do with why I broke up with him. So, personally, what I find attractive isn't the dollars and cents - it's ambition, skill, and confidence. Those attributes often lead to someone being monetarily successful - but it's not the money that is the attraction. When I started dating my husband, we were on tour with a show together - I was a performer and he was on the stage crew. During one of the shows, something broke down and had to be fixed as quickly as possible. Everyone was running around and my husband took control, told people what to do, and got things moving along. I thought it was incredibly sexy. Furthermore, my husband has been way more successful than either one of us imagined he would be. He's at the top of his field right now and I am SOOOOO proud of him - and I tell him so all the time. I'm so grateful that he's able to provide for us and that I'm able to be a stay at home mom. I didn't plan on being a stay at home mom - I didn't know if I would want to get back to work quickly after having children or not - but I love that we had the choice. We are both really happy with our life right now. Oh - and I also love that he thinks I'm hot!

But I could be wrong. Maybe most women do just lust after the almighty dollar. All I can say is that I'm not one of them.
I do believe most females feel that way and that is why it is so hard to date when your stuck a dead end job with no real upward mobility . It is It is extremely degrading to admit to females yea i put boxes on shelves for a living to a woman that is about sexy as two girls one cup.

I am so glad i currently working on getting my degree I will feel like i am going some wear in life.

the field i am getting into pays good but if your doing it for the money you will not last long .

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 am a caring, empathetic, calm, patient, flexible, a good listener, and like to help people. Also i can take charge when needed to .

Also I would like to work in pediatrics if i had my pick .I've always been good with children and enjoyed my interactions with them. I think that child care would be rewarding and fun.

I don't care how much money she makes I'm always going to be the man in the relationship.
yea but if your married and have kids it not that easy to say see you later. It is a lot more complicated than walking away.

Im pretty sure that type of attitude from a woman will have reared its ugly way before marraige and kids. Which is also why you don't just jump into marriage.

It is not fun having 200 hundred vocation hours but can not go anywhere so why take them? What sit at home and go this is cool and stay home in my apartment and just get drunk to pass the time?
Your drunkness is showing.

Why don't you take that money you spend on alcohol and save it towards a vacation?
