Disillusioned Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 It seems there are a few varied opinions on education. I admit people don't listen to my opinion much when they find out I have no Uni education. My flatmates are no exception here! Yet I seem to have a number of people who come to me for advice which is amusing and nice. Would I go back to school? At 32 I don't think so. Im already on my 3rd career path and I dont think I would have the interest or persistants to get a degree. I guess its ok to be picky, its HOW picky you are. Would you drop a guy\girl if there education wasn't as good as yours? Earned less? What would make you push someone away? From the sound of it, a lot of Aussies must be hung up on the other person's education. Here in the States, way too many of us (but not me) are hung up on income. Your jaw might drop, but a couple of years ago, some snooty professional matchmaker told me, TO MY FACE, that I didn't deserve a relationship, because I didn't have a 6-figure income. Apparently many of my fellow Yanks really believe a bigger bank account makes for a better lover. Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently many of my fellow Yanks really believe a bigger bank account makes for a better lover. That matchmaker sounded like a d!ck. Anyway I don't know how much income outweighs education but it does play hand in hand especially with certain women. Would you drop a guy\girl if there education wasn't as good as yours? Earned less? I don't know how far I'd be willing to go, but I'd definitely want to be with someone that has at least a bachelor's education. Salary wise it's not the end of the world as long as she's doing something with her life or has some career in mind...I make it sound as if I'm looking for a relationship. But I seem to be nearing a stage in my life where I don't want to just date around anymore. Either the chemistry is there from the get-go or not..plain and simple. Though nowadays, I seem less enticed to ask out any girl. I was at a party yesterday and my friend introduced me to some of his female friends, and none of them really cut it for me..though there were some pretty ones and boring ones too. Maybe I should be kicking myself in the nuts for being like this..bah! Link to post Share on other sites
Shygirl15 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm not so much 'picky' as I know my own mind better and am less of a walk-over.... I know what I do stand for, and what I won't stand for. I like that. Incidentally, GW, I just realized now that you are also known as Federica, doesn't that create a conflict of interest my dear? Just curious, you know I'm your biggest fan. Link to post Share on other sites
