Can relationships between people with different levels of education or intelligence work long term?

They can. I have 2 friends where she is way more intelligent & mature than he is. They have been married for about 10 years, despite my doubts that it would work. They also dated for about 5 years before they got married. He was working in a train yard & suffered a debilitating back injury a few years ago & she's had to pretty much support them since then.

Even though she is a lot smarter than him, they have a LOT of common interests - video games, RPGs, anime, etc. - which I think has kept them together.

I think so. This is especially true when the relationship is centered around one person's authority, pleasure and satisfaction.

How many years someone put into their degree (s) has little to do with compatibility or even intelligence. What makes two people compatible is that they have the same interests, values, and congruent life goals.

If both parties share the same values, it could work. You don’t necessarily need a degree to be educated - being educated is very much a choice. I suppose it all comes down to their level of maturity.
