Re: Highly educated or not
I don’t see how the individual contributions of internet randos will help with your question. Generally, people associate with and marry people that are on the same socio-economic level as them. So *generally speaking *people will date and marry people that have around the same education level. So yeah, it matters to a lot of people.
Re: Highly educated or not
Being highly educated doesn’t automatically mean that somebody also has good manners, a nice personality, class and respect for others. Education which we get in college/uni enriches us with certain knowledge & train us in just that particular field but it doesn’t necessarily enlarge us in terms of personality, mindset, manners, etiquettes & how to deal with relationships on daily basis.
Ever heard of the term “parhay likhay jaahil”? I have come across a lot in my life so don’t get fooled by the degrees one has. I have seen more educated people in pind who actualy know how to respect others & treat humans like humans while those who have “fancy” degrees can’t.
Re: Highly educated or not
‘Parhay likhay jahil’ ^^ the exact words that came to my mind when I opened this thread. A degree shouldn’t matter when you are looking for a partner in my eyes. A degree won’t teach someone manners nor will it ensure they will earn £££££.
I remember considering many Rishtay from guys who had joined the family business fresh out of school. They didn’t get the chance to go to college/university but were still very smart, well spoken and polite. I also met some who were just…lacking something intellectually for me. I felt they hadn’t ‘seen the world’ so still had a skewed train of thought, they were ‘backward’ or ‘traditional’ like their parents.
But the same principles applied to those with degrees. Some were educated to masters level (like myself) but were still just…stupid. Made an avg. living compared to those self employed. Whereas some were smart, made decent money, had more life experience, etc etc.
I don’t think it has much bearing on a person if I’m honest. Their upbringing has more to do with it. We live in a day and age where a persons finances are not gaged by their level of education, nor is their personality.
Your own personal family dynamics will play more of a part. Would you be embarrassed to introduce a spouse who is less educated than yourself. Are you worried about ‘loag kya kehnge’ etc
Re: Highly educated or not
One of the interesting observations I have had is women generally get attracted towards intelligent men, but same cannot be said about men, at least a significant proportion of them, will prefer looks
Re: Highly educated or not
There is a lack of intelligent women generally.
