Yep. Totally. College degree CAN (although not guaranteed) better job and able to support a family, as well as more intellectual awareness to have a wide variety of conversations to keep the relationship interesting.

What does a college degree have anything to do with a marriage?
Just because a person has a college degree, does not make him or her a person to be married to.
I would not want anyone to think about marrying me for the reason of not having a college degree.
To answer your question honestly, No it is not fair for the other person if he/she does / does not have a college degree.
Think about it.

Fairness has nothing to do with it... It's what you want...... as an educated lady never consider a hs grad. Along with an education goes brains, knowledge, smarts, kindness, curiosity, refinement. Been married twice -- first guy a Ph. D. second guy and MD, boyfriend Masters in Fine Arts. All awesome men, all wonderful. I'm old, (over 50) so I've been around awhile. Even as a 16 year old girl, never occurred to be to marry a hs Harley guy. After my second husband was killed in an accident, would never change the fact that bright educated men are a turn-on, and would never settle for less. Hell, what would I have in common with a hs grad? I've been all over the world, speak a few languages, majored in History, English, know a little bit about everything, constantly read non-fiction, sell photographs I've taken, have symphony tickets, speak Latin like a priest.... tell me hon, what on earth would I be thinking to go out with a guy with no education, hmmmmm? Not a snob, can talk to anyone about anything, I'm a good listener, and love to learn from anyone about anything..... but not interested a mediocre mind as a companion/lover/husband...

No not at all your limiting yourself . many men are smart but may not have been able to afford to go to college or universaty at this time or could have come from a broken home with not much money and had to go out and work.
then theres the other side of the coin some men may not be smart in that particular field but can be very street or life smart in other things. I have met many men that have degrees and there dryed up as a prune no sense of humor very dry and geeky. depends on what you want. you can still find an intelligent man without a degree.
beside he can always go back to university later in life if that what he choses to do so.l

completely unfair. My father did not have a college degree but he was far more intellegent and well read then most people with advanced college degrees. People that met him often thought he had an advanced degree and were shocked to hear he didn't.
Here's the other side... my bro-in-law is a lawyer, doesn't like to speak people that are not his intellectual equal, yet has to call his brothers to say "what's wrong with my car", ......you know, those types of questions. But they are not good enough to talk to otherwise. He's smart but he can't keep a job he's so darned snobby about is so called "intellagance."
Your attitude makes you a snobby shallow person. Hey I could fix you up with my brother-in-law.

What's a degree if you can't use it? I know so many people that have bachelors degrees, and Masters degrees, and they work along side of high school grads making the same $'s. You might as well say you will only marry a doctor. I'm sure your going to get the same results. Lonely and looking at that hunk with the steady job, and nice size 401K.

Its not fair, you should marry someone who loves you and treats you right. College is not for everyone, and just because a man chooses not to go to college and get a degree doesnt mean that he cant have a career doing something else.

Its your choice but do you really think that a college graduate will treat you any better than someone who didnt go to college? Just remember a college degree is nothing more than a piece of paper and the person is the same with or without it. Good luck

no-some of the smartest people that I know do not have a college degree.I do not think that going to college makes you"SMART"-I have a Master's degree and my husband does not have a degree at all. He is making almost as much money as me,is well rounded and has a job in a professional field(computer geek).Do not limit yourself-even plumbers make more money than someone with a college degree.

As long as you have a college degree, that is fair. Even if you don't, you can set whatever standards you want. That just reduces the number of partners availible to you. Just don't date other people that you wouldn't marry because that would just be dishonest.

It depends where you are. Do you have a degree? It would make sense. Man or woman you don't want to feel like you were married for the money. With that being said I have a college degree and my hubby does not but he still makes more than I do. Bummer that you can work your hardest and still make less than your hubby.
