If a woman is doing M-phil, does that give an older feeling to her…?
Would men hesitate marrying and feel intimidated by a girl more educated than themselves?
Re: Higher Studies - a plus or not?
yes...but, it should NOT be that way. One of my cousins has a double PhD and she couldn't find a match until recently at age 43. i wud love to have an educated woman as my wife but i'm equally inclined to marry anyone with enuf education to raise kids properly. gaaoN waalii bhii chalegii kiuN k maiN KHud ek gaaoN waalaa huN ... lol

I'd prefer if the girl I married has been to uni but even if she's done more I wouldn't mind. I see no reason for being intimidated by woman who's more educated.

It does, yes. But it shouldn't be so.. I'll insha Allah be starting my Phd when ill be 26-27. And that is no old age!!
Re: Higher Studies - a plus or not?
^ how about starting your m-phil at 23?

Its NOT practically EASY...with kids, hubby and the in-laws, its next to impossible. u prolly dunno what a woman's life is like. i've seen professional women [one of them is a Program Director for Medicine in a Canadian University] and she has to cook, do laundry [after a long day at work] while hubby [an engineer], after coming back from work, sits home like a couch potato.
all men must be required to role play as a wife for just one day and only then they can understand what involves in running a household.**
Re: Higher Studies - a plus or not?
It 'shouldn't' matter........but on a subconcious level......people may think that such a girl/woman places too much emphasiz on her career which may be a negative point for people who are looking for wife thats ...lets say...a bit more 'homely'

it may work for a very few but most end up discontinuing after marriage. It's nt very practical either cuz marriage itself is quite a hard task n comes with alot of responsibilities.
anyways to answer pakwoman....
I am all for higher education BUT only if you need it. Don't just study further to add those "phd" or "masters" tag to your CV or just generally. Like myself after doing a 4 years course in uni, i don't feel the need to do masters in the same subject cuz i think it wl be of no use. However if you think studying further can actually add to you as a person or help u in yr field then by all means go for it. As for as the men are concerned, well you know the evils of the society!!! They want an educated girl but she shudnt be more than 22-23 lols which is quite funny. And i think most guys wud feel intimidated with a women who is more educated than them. But most guys nowadays do go for their masters so it shudnt be a big deal if u want to go for masters.
Goodluck.

^ yes you mean the one's looking for the very housewife types
Re: Higher Studies - a plus or not?

I cudnt do that. After completing my Bachelors , i worked for some years. Then started studying again when i was 24, Masters that is. By the time i complete this degree ill be 26-27.

I wouldn't mind the working type. That way she has her own credit card for shopping :D

u r on the right track...26-27 isn't bad. by the time u finish ur PhD u'll be 30 [if u decide to do that]...its great!**
Re: Higher Studies - a plus or not?
I agree with KKF and Maham - studying for women after marriage is just practically impossible, especially if you haven't started with a degree already. There are so many cases around me where the in-laws said they'll allow the girl to study as much as she wants but later they just keep dodging around the subject.
I do feel I need M-phil esp in my field - since m-phil is the new masters now.

Yup. There are all kinds of people in this world. My parents literally forced my bhabi to complete her masters after marriage. She got lazy and also got pregnant after few mnths but my dad was on her case all the time that you shouldnt waste yr education like this. Finally she did complete her masters :D.

I did my HONS, thought i'd get some experience first - work and research, but i applied and got admission into an M-phil program... i just dont want to waste my time waiting till i get married... that'll be such a waste.
