I will be graduating with my MBA in Economics in a week. When it comes to choosing a boyfriend, I find it a necessity that he has the same education that I have or more.
If a guy has a less of an education than I do, then I tend to look down on them. Am I being too picky?

Tell you the truth yes, it's called being shallow, I'm not trying to be rude, but you need to like for someone for their heart, not looks or brains, I cant stand things my boyfriend does, but I love him cause he has a great heart, you need to look past things , and start to think about what kind of heart they have.No ones perfect

No your not being to picky if you look down on people for what they have or don't have rather you're a SNOB. If this is what the education has taught to you, then it proves one thing. Knowledge does not make one smart, it is wisdom that does. you may have the smarts but do not posses the facility to think beyond your own wants and desires so you crticize those less fortunate. You can't feel from your heart you feel for yourself, trying ot create an image and if the person who wished to go out with you does not fit the image then you do not go out with them, for example.
You do not even give people a chance unless it helps your image.... you are headed for a lonely path down a long and winding road.

Do not eliminate people as a choice based on such standards as you are, you only hurt yourself because they will go on to find someone and be happy and it is you who will be lonely.

I would like to find a guy with the same level of education. Since I am finishing my masters that does lower the odds. I would like a guy with a minimum of high school, but some college would be nice and a Bachelors would be ideal.
If having an equivalent education is that important to you stick with it. We alll have standards. But you may find someone who is equally as intelligent and without the parchment. Keep your options open. A degree doesn't always guarentee smarts.

Not picking.... I mean you do have to have some standards but it's kinda as cut and dry just to go by a master degree. (I am getting My MA is education if that makes you feel any better chatting with me;) Heck, I think half the people in this program just have money and are dumb as dirt!!
I personally never dated anyone without a college education but now I am MARRYING a wonderful guy without any college but he is a union professional and makes a ton more money them me :) I think once you meet the right person... it changes.. I know plenty of people who said no kids and married guys with kids!! If you like someone you should get to know him a little more before throwing him out just because of the college idea. Lots of people are millionaires and are super smart... and never went to college.
Don't use it a status symbol or in the end... you might end up being alone.. unless your OK with that.

a little just because he doesn't have an MBA doesn't mean he is not intelligent he could be proficient in other areas of life, maybe he is more knowledgable in the aspects of general subjects, education is not everything, as it may sound bad but if he has a good job and is well maintained he does not have to have a college degree to your standards you might be surprised he might end up teaching you a few things! Good luck stop being so narrow minded!

If you only view education as a degree, then you are being shallow. The most educated people I know tend to have little or no college. But they are always learning, always working to improve themselves. Unless the degree is necessary for a career, formal education is unecessary. Like Mark Twain said, I never let school get in the way of my education.

I have met people with tons of education that are socially retarded. And of course there are less educated people who are highly intelligent. Going to college doesn't make you a gem. I think you are missing out on great guys by only going out with ones with the same education. Try not to even factor in education. Get to know someone first.

YES!
Your education is a privilege, not an excuse to act like a snob and patronise everyone else around you. I have the same standard of education, in fact more than you, but I would never let it affect my decision making in relationships.
Anyway, education is just one factor of several that guys look for in a woman, what makes you think you are such a catch?

not necessarily. if you're gonna be with someone long term you need to be on the same wavelenght and have the same values, so maybe finding someone who has the same education as you do is your way of screening guys. but maybe theres a trucker out there who is as bright as a fire fly that you wont give a chance coz you're being snobby. talk to people at least...

Yes you are. You should not look down on anyone. How would you like it if a guy that you thought was perfect, did the same thing to you. I applaud you on your education, but that is not what relationships are built on.
