I just want to get an honest opinion from women age range from 22 to 37. How would you judge a man who is around 26 working in McDonalds scrubbing toilets and cleaning the parking lot at night while going to school in the morning to obtain a degree in Economics? If you get to know him, inside his apartment is full of Business, Law, Economics, and Human Psychology books that he have read, meaning self taught on many subject. Brought from humble beginning, he was not educated as a child but learn to make it up, as he gets older. He is very thrifty and buys most of his things from good will but will not hesitate to give a hundred dollars or more to a total stranger who he knows truly needs it. How would you judge such a man?
In comparison to you, he is less educated, but don't assume that he is less intelligent, just not as educated as you. Would you think less of him and would you be embarrass to call him your lover when you and your friends drive by McDonalds and see him doing workin

Bright, practical, responsible, unpretentious. It sounds like he has a very promising future.

What makes him less educated than me? He has read a ton of books that I probably wouldn't have read. And if he's going to college doesn't make him less educated than me, just a little behind me. If in getting to know him, I'm sure I would've told my friends all about him and the fact that he works at McDonalds while working towards a degree in Economics, then no I wouldn't be embarrassed. So, in other words if you have a girl that is embarrassed because of you working at McDonalds then she is not worth the heartbreak that you'll probably be heading for. Good luck!

Honest opinion - often a lower educated person DOES have a difficult time finding a job. It sounds like he is trying to better himself and I would not be ashamed to call him my lover if I was to be with someone like that. Education is NOT a sign of intelligence and his willingness to work wherever he can get a job to put himself through schooling is a sign of character. I would be proud to claim such a man as my own! Appearances being rated over character is a sad fact in our country and is evidenced by the rate of divorce, high school drop outs, and crime.
Bravo for him that he is bettering himself! I would definitely brag about him and show him off! He has nothing to be ashamed of nor would the woman who was with him!

A man is someone who is willing to go out there and find himself a job and who can maintain his living by providing for himself or if he has a family, he has to be able to provide for his wife and family. He has to do what it takes to get where he wants to be in life.
There are many, many men out there who don't care what type of job they get, as long as it brings in money to live and to pay bills. If this man is working at McDonalds and going to school at the same time to make his life better, then he is doing the right thing for himself. He shouldn't worry what others think of him.
I don't judge anyone, because that is not my place. If you are willing to go out there to work at any job, and not be picky on what job you would rather have, then that is what you call a man who goes after his dreams to earn some income to pay for school.
Look what happen to Bill Gates, he quit college and now is a what? A billionnaire? Or Millionnaire?
Before I met my husband, he worked at McDonalds, he didn't have a car, he worked many fast food chains, didn't graduate from high school, no college at all. But now he has his own Internet running business that brings in thousands of money. Is also a writer, an enterprenuer, self taught, owns his own business and works from home! He did it all because he had a family to raise and went after his dreams. He did it because he wanted to bring me home to care for his sons. He did it because he was a man and that was his duty.
So you can do it too, if he did it!

well i'm not a girl, but i'll switch the roles .
if your scrubbing toilets - i won't see you. i probably woudn't bother looking at you - since the people working behind the counter are invisible to me. unless your were really cute (provided you were a girl remember).
i suppose if you were on your lunch break reading something from your collection, that would spark an interest. a sort of what is that book. like in MIB where the little girl was holding a physics book; it's something out of place to talk about.
and what's wrong with free fries? and smelling like a yummy hamburger?

I guess it all depends on the ambitions you...err, this man has and what he plans to do with his economics degree. If the Macdonalds thing is a short term thing to do what is necessary to get along and this man intends to make something of himself in the future then I would not be bothered to bring my mates to Macdonalds for a chat with you...him!
You have to look at the bigger picture. Intelligence and being able to hold your own with confidence is a massive turn on.
I can't give a short description of 'A Man', but if YOU can see YOUR aim, then go for it and screw everyone else.

I try not to judge others. If he has a job and is going to school, I would assume he has ambition and drive. And that he is trying to make more of himself. As for buying at goodwill, I see nothing wrong w/ that, as I buy my children clothing f/ there, as well as slightly used stores. F/ what you have written, I don't see you as less educated, either. If you are going to college, then you are what I would consider, 'educated'!

I would be very proud of him and would not hesitate to tell people, "That's my man!" If someone bashed him for working at McDonald's, I'd tell them there's nothing wrong with that. It's an honest living and as smart as he is, he won't be working there forever. Everybody's got to start somewhere.

OK. Nosy old broad here talking: If it's you, you're a peach, and anyone lucky enough to get a date with you should really be glad. If it's your boyfriend, HANG ONTO HIM. There are way too many guys out there who won't work for what they want, and haven't opened a book in years.I'd call this guy a blessing and grab him if I was looking!

This person is taking real responsibility for his life and it's not important what other people (even me) think. Keep on doing the good and maintaining accountability to the only person that matters, yourself. The rest will follow. Have patience, young padawan.
