Why do my parents want me to marry JOBLESS guys who have nice degrees?

[Babygirl_S]

They say they have “potential”. Who cares? They are literally UNEMPLOYED and may never be selected for a job. Also, I have a decent job so it’s not fair.

When they were young it was always the college graduates that were the high earners. This is not always the case today. People with useless degrees like Gender Studies will not have an advantage over anybody with a high school diploma. Also where a person went to college is much less important than what they majored in.

Well they don't want you to get married tomorrow do they I mean I'm sure it might take some time but still you're the one that's the boss of you I say keep doing whatever it is you're doing and it will all come together for you

[Bethany22]

You're a lot smarter than your parents are, as well as smarter than a lot of women. Too many go with guys for their potential. You should go out with a guy who at least has a job while he waits for a job that uses his degree, if that's his goal.

[purplepoppy]

Why not come to a compromise and insist they have a useful degree that employers want rather than one in poetry, gender studies, or engineering.

Why don’t you marry a jobless guy?

[IslaTheWitch]

why do they want to? because they can...

if you disagree, ask them this question and provide your reasons against

or simply don't agree

in the end, you are going to marry, so it should be your decision

[DryGermanGuy]

You parents obviously mean he has the potential to fertilize you. They want that grandchild, you know. :-)

Thank you!

[DerekC321]

Well they told you why but I understand why you don't want to. Marry a guy you like... and who's employed 🙂

[LiamJHayden]

Some parents have a difficult time letting go. You are old enough to make your own decisions.

[Dan_5001]

Depends is the guy jobless due circumstances that he couldn't control or control. To me that would be a important factor.

[bowenw]

They are confused and think it is their business.

Arranged marriages suck
