Now I have a question for all the gentlemen here in Gupply-land
Let’s please please please refrain from making this into another gender bashing extravaganza.
My question to you guys is that would it matter to you if your spouse had a higher level educational degree? Like if you had a Masters and she had a PhD, would that bother you?
In some professions, a PhD is necessary to move up in the food chain, while in others an MBA or Masters and street smarts is all it takes.
Lets say that she’s not the type to nag or brag about her achievements at all. Never brings it up in arguments or anything.
Also, lets make it interesting and say that she doesn’t make as much moolah as you, despite having the higher degree (it happens). Would it still bother you?
I"m not here to judge, just looking for honest opinions. Mature and well thought out answers will be greatly appreciated.
yea no harm in that...the only way i can see ego getting hurt is if ur in some sorta competition with ur spouse..but i f ur geninuanly partners than shud be okay..
It wouldn't bother me. My brother's married to a girl with a Master's (he just has a bachelor's, like me).
In fact, there's a history of marrying girls more qualified than one's self in my family. My dada never did a degree, but my dadi held a Masters degree when she got married to him.
it will bother me if only had a degree less then me. I would honestly appreciate if he had more degrees.
One person in the household would have a lot of knowledge in whatever they do. great example for kids.
MysticPapaya, if i see a hot doctor with a balding fat desi uncle with a highschool diploma... yes that bothers me a bit. but, as long as two ppl have some college education why should it bother anyone.

reminds me of our neighbors in Pakistan. Husband had a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Imperial College, London. Wife had an FA (High school). Kids were a healthy mix - from being high achievers to average joes (and jills)
