In a marriage, why is it ok for the man to have a college education and the wife not have one, when the opposite situation, i.e., the woman having a college education and the husband only having a high school degree would not seem right. I remember my mother telling me this years ago and saying it wouldn't look right when people asked the educated wife what her husband did; I think it's ridiculous. I told my mother that you would actually have to care what people thought for this to bother you. This situation does not affect me as I have already graduated from college, but my brother seems to be running into the problem. His girl recently graduated with a degree in education; my brother needs about another 2 years to get his bachelor's, but he dropped out and doesn't really want to go back, his girl wants him to go finish. Ladies, what do you think.

I agree with you, "Who cares what other people think regarding who has the most education?" I don't think it matters which one in the family earns the most; it is a marriage, with assets to be shared.
Having said that, my advice is your bro. should go back to school. In this economy whatever you can do to make yourself more employable is the best path to take. Many businesses won't even consider hiring people without a degree. They often end up in dead-end jobs. It can make quite a difference in $$$ earned over a lifetime.

Your questions doesn't make a lot of sense. I mean whether or not it's 'ok' would be personal opinion so it's not objectively right or wrong. You can't argue that someone's opinion is wrong.
I personally can't imagine dating a woman who doesn't have a college education. I'm not saying I would dump someone I liked if I found out she didn't have one. But I also can't imagine getting to the point of dating her if she didn't.
