Do you care about your partner's career and education?

Question

davner · Accepted Answer

definitely. but its not how you might imagine it.
i won't leave or ditch her if i see that she's horrible at it or she can't or won't do it.
instead, ill be the world most annoying person and push her to do something until she eventually finds something that she like. and if she has a bad day, id encourage her and get her something to eat if im able to.
I'd tell her even if she doesn't end up successful, I'd be there to take care of her, but that doesn't mean she should just dump everything and get on my back. what ever she's going through, I'll go through it too.

Ironic_Method · Accepted Answer

Do I care? Absolutely. I want her to be happy, that requires some modicum of education (though it will vary from person to person) and I want her to do something that either makes her happy or makes enough money so that she can enjoy what she wants.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Yes.

But career and education don't have to look like the traditional American "Life Script".

A self-made entrepreneur who attended the school of hard knocks is as successful and educated in my mind as someone who's been an engineer and went to university.

Traditional schooling and career paths aren't really determinants in my mind. They can be, but I know uni grads who are total failures to launch, and self-taught people who are multiple times more successful because they're still smart.

I care that my future partner has a career or business and an education. And that they continue their education by taking classes, reading books, watching docimentaries, etc.

I hate stagnant fuckers.

MTC29 · Answer

No. University degrees open doors which would otherwise be closed (or locked) but there are many well-paying careers which don't require higher education.

I had a relationship with a woman who was a retired NYC bus driver. I have a Master of Engineering degree and she had a GED. Big deal. As a city worker she had ample to time read newspapers every day and she had amazing insight into current and foreign affairs. She also had bus driving stories which ranged from hilarious to downright terrifying.

HighValue · Answer

I just wouldn't want her doing something that I think is immoral or anything that requires her to travel/spend days away from home. So, no doctors, travel hosts, active military, strippers, or things like that.

I would like it if she worked in education so she would have the same days off and vacation as me, even if she was only a part time instructional aide or something like that, but it isn't a requirement. I just don't want her working on the weekends when I am off because I want to be able to do stuff together often.

Sandeeppingping · Answer

Not really, as long as she doesn't sound like a bum and is actually intelligent I'm fine with it, my current girlfriend really interested about her career though, I feel it has a lot to do with how much her father has accomplished and she wants to show that isn't just a pretty face, I dig that, but I wouldn't care either way

DizzyDesii · Answer

I’d prefer they at least have a high school diploma and went to trade school. A bachelors and masters is hardly worth it these days. But if they didn't do any college, i’d hope they’re going strong without it

ElementoP · Answer

The only reason I care about her career is because she needs to make enough to pay her part of the mortgage lol. She can't be jobless or we lose the house! Other than that I couldn't care less as long as she's happy

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

Yes. I want to see him work to make his dreams a reality. My boyfriend wants to work designing video games, he's going to school for it. And in return I do what I can to keep him motivated

DavidRaul · Answer

Yeah somehow it matters. I would generally be involved with a woman who's ambitious and career oriented. I mean that would motivate both of us. But in the end all you need is love and how well you both can take care of each other.

dustybiker · Answer

Yes. To the tone of if something happened to me I would want the person I love to be able to care for themselves.

LazerBean · Answer

As long as he can provide for a family, or is it going in a direction that will allow him to in a few years, then no idc.

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

Yes. Surely I would. Also, she needs to be working. Not to generate income, but to be active and mentally healthy.

Hanrej · Answer

I care that she has a job she is at least content with and pays her bills. I couldn't care less about how educated she is as long as she's able to keep up with the times and can reason well when faced with problems.

MaxRobespierre · Answer

As long as you're not boring to talk to it doesn't matter to me.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Yes and no. Yes if it’s making him happy and motivated. No it’s his business

FilmGuy93 · Answer

Only in the sense that I want her to be an intelligent and hardworking woman who lives a life she's passionate about.

Agape93 · Answer

Yeap. I wouldn't have paid for her schooling for the last two years if I didn't care.

RedThread · Answer

Of course. I want to maintain a certain lifestyle. If my partner is just a drain on that, I probably wouldn't be happy.

Pudsmucker · Answer

Always. She has taken class to enhance her career. There's been many times that she has been very supportive in me with my unemployment.

AK-47CountryGurl · Answer

Yes. Of course. Who wouldn't? That's their future, and possibly yours.
