If you have an university degree would you marry a person with less then 6years of schooling? (44)
Katiko: I recently learned that a friend of mine who is works at University and tries to do her PhD is married to a guy who did not even graduate the primary school. (Wow!)
That made me think of if I would ever be able to do sth like that. Not even 6 years of basic education he has. And he comes from very poor and simple family so it wasn't for money or power. She simply loves him.
I mean could happen I would fell in love with someone not knowing what educational background he has. But I would probably "smell" it due to the subjects we talk about, etc.
It is a huge difference. And I am not saying of knowledge itself, but way of seeing and interpreting the events and World. Understanding how the things work.
And than, my grandparents did not even finish the primary school due to the war. And my grandpa was in a lot of ways a wise guy playing for years the first violin in philharmonic orchestra. Autodidact. So I know that the school is not the most important. Still… hard to imagine.

Imo universities are sanctuaries for mal-adjusted, impractical thinking and unworldly ethics.
I run a business now, and whilst my technical knowledge comes from my degree and education, my actual ability to keep the business going comes from my life experience and things my Grandad taught me about common sense. I think if my lecturer's took over my business now they'd run it into the ground in under 6 months.

That's much more succinct
If I were to meet a guy and click with him, I wouldn't care much about his educational background... as long as, he isn't bumming around doing nothing. He's got to have a stable job at least.
There are highly intelligent people who don't have the resources and/or opportunities to pursue further studies. Myself, for example (not that I'm highly intelligent), am unable to pursue a degree because I can't afford it at the moment.
Everyone is intelligent in our own way. In fact, I've met folks who have PhD's, Masters, etc, with extremely low EQ.
In the end, we never know who we'd fall in love with.
I once fell for a paraplegic, but, my feelings weren't reciprocated.

Its something my art and design teacher used to tell me when I presented good work
I think it was his way of being proud about my work
I like smart guys - although street smarts or common sense is more important - but the actually degree......
Interesting question. I have liked men in a variety of occupations over the years, students, lawyers, police officers, a cabinet maker, scientists, investigators, public servants, pilots, electrician, a trust fund kid, a photographer and a writer.
Dang that is a 40 years of dating (some all in one year before sticking with the same man for 20 plus years)......
When it comes to the degree or schooling it was important maybe for their career or job, I never dated any slackers - but it was not important for the relationship.
I like the artist type of guy, who may work in an industry or job that pays the bills but that has other things going on in his life, like building things with his hands, or likes animals and outdoor adventures. Especially the regular guy who enjoys football, or fishing, or plays basketball on the weekend with his buddies.
One thing that I have found interesting is my lack of interest in musically creative men. I like music, all kinds but I have never been interested in men who have musical talents or musical jobs.

This weekend I saw a film about guys who come from the "hood" and became wealthy very fast playing sports. Most of them went bankrupt. There are many reasons why, but one of the reasons is that they had no idea how the financial system works. They cannot tell which "financial advisor" is telling them a load of crap and who isn't.
Same thing happened to the people who are bamboozled by bank employees who lie the blue out of the sky to sell some financial products.
A person who hasn't studied this stuff doesn't learn about it on the street. You can be intelligent, but outside University, you don't even have access to the material to learn it correctly.
I use finance as an example.
A situation of a big difference in formal education can be okay, but it can also bring a lot of frustration for both.
I do like someone who is intelligent and has business acumen and not everyone has gone to university.
My ex was, my best mate left school early to take over the family business - he is very interested in current affairs and up to date, someone to go to and ask for advice, he has good business acumen and his business is successful.
I do think though that people these days keep upskilling themselves during their work life.

I'm not sure that having a degree has any particular bearing per se.....
I have been in social circles whereby people have academic qualifications as long as their arm and yet couldn't wipe their own ****, and those who are not perceived as educationally qualified and still have been the most knowledgeable and informative (not to mention entertaining) of folk I have inter-acted with.
One's academic prowess is not an indication of one's intelligence, believe me.
I don't in any way under-estimate the work involved in several years' study and the ability to answer questions correctly on the examination day but there's a lot to be said for the worldly-wise and the knowledge we gain through experience of life, seeking and absorbing 'culture' (in whatever form the individual recognises), and the input one can give to others rather than an educational point-scoring mission....?

Yes, especially at my age... connsidering my degrees were earned so long ago now that I can't remember most anything anymore.

I was very close to an academia once.
Whilst a genius in academic intelligence and an expert in his chosen field, he was sadly lacking in other areas of intelligence...eg social and emotional.....and general common sense.
I do, however, commend people who have attained a tertiary qualification because, at the very least, it requires a level of commitment to complete one's qualification, in time and effort.
I know it sounds cliche, but the university of life is a much better learning environment.
