Does the education of a potential partner matter to you?

[Anonymous]

Personally, yes, I like to have someone I can discuss topics of my ongoing education with. Which is why it's good that my boyfriend is studying in the same field.

I don't want to date someone in corporate but I also don't want to date a mechanic

I want to date someone who has passion but is also realistic. I think corporate people are out of touch with manual labor but I also don't like that manual labor employees assuming education is for squares and "why should I get certified if I already know everything"

So someone who can think and create, but understands the value in proving to yourself and against your competition in the job market that you are skilled and make effort to improve.

That's what's important to me.

[Miristheiss]

No.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that is does with most women.
I've just always wanted someone that is a good person and who had good character, was kind and had common sense.

Some formal college education wasn't important. I am only impressed with specific skills. A teacher, a lab tech, a mathematician, scientist... etc. Some generic, humanities, communications, liberal arts... etc. never impressed me anyway. I'm impressed if you become an expert at a specific skill. Most of those fluff degrees do not lead to jobs and they just indoctrinate you to be some loudmouth, annoying activists who complains and bitches all the time and hates the country.

It only matters to me because my education is my life... or it's my biggest interest at least... people would be bored with me if they didn't understand what I was talking about to a degree

[DonkeyDan]

Yes to a certain extent, qualifications don't necessarily mean much to me but someone who is educated enough that they are a good conversationalist and is able to form opinions based on facts rather than just what they read in the media or in social media.

I don't suffer fools gladly!!!

[cryscrys1]

Not really
Nowadays anyone can get a degree i call BS a bullshit not even a bachelor degree..
What’s matters is your find your own way what can you contribute find a product you like make it sell it.. you don’t really need a degree to make money at all. Be strategic. Also universities are money pump too they only care about money selling you an education a piece of cartoon for 200k debt..

I think a healthy relationship does not depend on someones "edcuational level" I once dated a dude like that.. boy did he turn me off, even though Education played a major role for me but IT WAS MY THING, it's not suppoed to be on my partners plate as well just because it's on mine.
My current partner didn't go to college, and I wouldn't exchange him for nobody with a higher education, also because he is way more intellectual that many dudes that reached high ranks in education.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Yes, he should be educated but it doesn’t necessarily have to be in the same subjects as me, and he doesn’t have to be like an A* student, just someone with a decent education who I can have a serious and deep conversation with.

[Fireguy17]

I would be nice if she had a brain, but other than that, not really.
I wasn't made for school, but I am great with my hands so I went down that career path, others their brain is their gift, so by all means use it.

[Moimaris]

I don’t mind the education. Education says nothing about knowledge. And also. Some people are smart enough they don’t need education

[Asker]

Mmmmm not true... I don't think a person without a formal education could chime in in a conversation I would have about my field...

[Pj1981]

Not really so much. I mean intelligence is attractive but I have met smart people without much formal education. Some common sense is pretty important and you have to be able to have conversations with them

[Ninani]

I only care that he thrives with whatever he's chosen.

[TheAfrikan]

Awesome reply from you @ninani

[Lillie_xo]

I mean I'd like for her to be somewhat smart
and to be able to discuss that stuff with her
soo yess
but its not too important ┐(●’v’)┌

[exitseven]

It would be good to have somebody with like experiences and also somebody with some ambition and curiosity. It would not matter if they graduated or not or what they majored in.

[SecretsofKB]

I don't think it's a deal breaker for me, but I would prefer someone with some form of higher education. Again, not a deal breaker though.

[Anonymous]

Yes, because for me it shows that they have had some kind of motivation in life. I know education is not a perfect merit to show motivation, but it shows they are willing to push through something that might not be fun always and is challenging to some degree.

[tartaarsaus]

Education is a pretty useful proxy for intelligence. So yes

[Glasgow55]

Yes, it matters to me. The early part of any relationship is physical. But once that thrill wears off a little, you need intellectual stimulation.

[zagor]

Yes, but it isn't as important as basic intelligence.

[AdithyaR]

Yep, I'd prefer having a partner of equal education or even higher.

[Anonymous]

Not at all.
It's cool if they have the same interests as me and that we can talk about it, but formal education in the subject makes no difference, there's no need for a degree.

[Pejtu]

I mean if she did not finish high school thats a no for me

[bamesjond0069]

Nope. Why would it? Seems useless for a relationship.

[Luckycharms12]

No not at all I know my area of work band have worked in many

[fred_durst]

no , i had seen too many people get rich even they just graduated from high school

[This_Is_My_Opinion8]

Absolutely! I would never have something with a girl who doesn't have a degree.
