Re: A rishta dilemma.
What is he doing in a bank if he has no college education, apart from being a teller? He probably has no decent standing at the bank without an MBA.
One option is to see if he’d be interested in going back to school and completing his degree, to get a step up in the ladder of succcess - sell it to him as if you GET a degree, look, you can move up in the bank and be a manager, or go further and start working in central if you get an MBA.
Bottom line, your concern is NOT shallow, it’s perfectly reasonable. Why is it OK to drop out just cuz you feel like it? I never got that about desi parents and the sorry excuses they make for their sons’ laziness. There is some merit in hard work and studying, and fine if business is not your forte, you can get a college degree in many other areas.
Getting a bachelors these days, honestly, doesn’t require a lot of effort. A general bachelors degree at SOME university, that is. Fine, if he were to say “look, HARVARD, was hard and i couldn’t take the pressure and dropped out..” → that I get.
Dropping out of some general uni → RETARDED.
Means the guy is lazy, doesn’t prize hard work, so if you wanna marry him, fine, but expect that you’ll be the one raising your kids ALONE with the value that they need to get educated. Your kids in the future can use that against you and say “well dad never went to school”.
Up to you. If he’s a nice guy, and has some morals, I’d say go for it, because that alone is rare these days, and maybe you can convince him to finish school.
