I don't think that a degree equals intelligence. I have a degree. I work with people who have degrees, but more often than not, they lack common sense and common decency. That said, I look for a person that I can have a meaningful conversation with, regardless of education. As far as money goes, I don't need anyone to take care of me financially. However, I'm not taking care of someone else either. Common ground in personality and values are most important regardless of "formal" education and amount of money you make.
I'm a good woman too! I treat people the way I want to be treated. I'm open, I'm honest, but alas, I'm not a thin woman. I guess that's the deal breaker in my case. My advice - keep looking, we are out there. The longer it takes to find her, the more you'll cherish her. You and she, will both benefit! Good Luck in your search!
