having a degree just means you are really specialized in one area....it doesn't make you superior or above anyone else who doesn?t have a degree
True. I value a person for who they are as a person, rather than what they are as a product of educational institutions. Its a neutral thing for me really - if it makes them happy to go to university and learn then great, good for them. If not, thats great too. So long as they are happy with what they choose to do in life.
There is a difference between having pride in your education accomplishments and relying on them to make up for a lack of self-esteem/confidence... something that seems suprisingly common...
Heres a question for you people... What do you value most in your prospective partner? Their ability to bring success in monetary terms? Or their abilities to be a good parent, a good wife or husband, who genuinely loves you and supports you in all that you do? Regardless of what that may be?
What else?
I value a person who will support my home and family. I also know that this person will bring success on a grand scale in terms of monetary wealth and in all aspects of every day life. It is not about the money, because I know from the get-go that this person is special and she is capable of many things. If you believe that, there is nothing to fear.
