My husband holds two degrees, is a member of Mensa, we also have two houses and are very well traveled but we are not educational snobs and so he follows the job that he really loves and in this economy he makes more money than those people with desk jobs and titles after their name on their business cards --------- he's an electrician.
Don't judge a person for their occupation - there are many people with Master's degrees or higher that are working in blue collar jobs because that's where the money is right now. Everybody needs a plumber, electrician, mechanic or UPS guy - everybody doesn't need a personal banker or stock broker or real estate agent.

I do my own plumbing and mechanic work...it's called looking up how to do it on the internet...or reading it in a book...i can't really get a loan on my own without going to a bank. (?)

Annnnd while I am sure he does do very well financially, don't sit there adn say he makes more than people at the desk jobs. I'm 27 and I have a desk job and I do extremely well.

ouch salt on the wound -----one of my hardest things to bear on CDF is when a single posts their frustrations, then comes the inevitable leave it to beaver type harriet nelson post saying--- hey i got the model husband he takes me to europe every other weekend cleans the house and looks just like brad pitt and worships me, i just dont see the problem.

*NEWSFLASH* There are mechanics and plumbers that make WAY more than many people at desk jobs.

You're only 27? Heck, I've got socks older than you.
lol...I would not date anyone with a job like that. Anyone with a degree who is doing a job like that has wasted their degree...and anyone who doesn't have a degree is just lazy. Get an education, for christ sake!
I was wondering how anyone could have over 400 posts and only a rep of 52.
I'd discuss this with you further, but it just dawned on me that you're 27, and you obviously like living in your narrow world, so I won't waste my typing fingers.
