If that is there, and the chemistry is right, the possibilities are endless no matter what the level of education and salary. This being said by a woman with an M.S. level education near the top of her chosen field. Happiness takes many forms and you should be open to the many possibilities. Right now I am getting to know someone without a college education that I met here on POF and he is a trained chef and an electrician. Now that's a combination a working girl can appreciate!
Good luck to all! | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 9:24:53 AM | We have been having a related discussion on the over 45 forum, about whether men are willing to be in LTRs with more educated and perhaps higher earning women.
Hands down, those of us over there feel that external symbols of "worth" are fairly . . . worthless. I have a PHD, but nothing appeals to me more than a nice guy who can teach me things I don't know/know how to do. I would date anyone I was attracted to, and that includes men "less intelligent" than me (as if that's an easy thing to measure! There are many forms of intelligence!).
I've met a lot of "successful" people who are not actually very smart in most ways. They may have a gift for what they do, but often their interests are narrow and they quit growing as people years ago. I cannot imagine myself with someone like that. Fortunately, I'm not at high risk b/c guys like that usually believe they "deserve" a much younger, hot female. Whew, dodged a bullet, didn't I? :) | |

Posted: 9/27/2009 9:30:45 AM | | We are faced with the meaning of success? I do not have a large income, as I work in public education. Some people have told me that I am wasting my education and brain "just" being a teacher, as the general public thinks that teachers teach because they are not smart enough to persue "real" professions. One man said I was the exception to the rule since I seemed to have a fairly intelligent mind. I did not think his comment warranted a response, it was so ignorant. I am in awe of people who can do technical things or build or repair things, as my strengths do not lie in these areas. Everyone has gifts and talents, finding them and being happy in a job is priceless. | |
