Todays Education

This generation will be the first generation EVER in which more women will be receiving a higher education than men.

As a feminist this makes me happy. However it also brings up the decision that most women will have to face, "Would I be willing to marry or even date a man who has less of an education than me?"

My opinion on that question? It depends, if he dropped out of high school and became a very successful actor/ musician, then yes. If he dropped out of high school so he could work full-time at the Burger King, then no.

Truth about women is we want someone who we can lean on, we want someone who can provide for us. And marrying a man with only a high school diploma, while we have our masters degree in communications, doesn't exactly seem like the kind of relationship I would want to be in, quite frankly. However I have only sort of been one relationship in my entire life, and I have never been "in love" so who am I to say who I would and wouldn't marry.

I'm just saying that women find men with an education very attractive, why do you think all those men on Wall Street get so many wives?

So ladies, I'm not saying you should lower your expectations. I may have given the advice that some of your expectations are a little too high, and some of them are, but this is different. An education is very important especially in this job market. I am also not saying that you should just stop at high school or just two years at a community college, keep going with your education, especially if it's important to you, who is stopping you besides yourself?

I am however trying to tell you to push you guy friends, your brothers, and you boyfriends into receiving a higher education. Scare them into college by telling them that they wont get laid if they drop out of high school, which is partially true.

So even though we dread getting up at 5 am every Monday morning, focusing on our future career is important. Just keep your goal in mind while you are in your most boring class. When ever I wonder why I have to put up with school, I remind myself that in less than a decade I play on living in the city, and having a very successful job as a newscaster, or writer, and I can own as many pairs of shoes as I want with my very generous paycheck. That's how I am able to make it through most of my dull classes.

So, in conclusion, don't lower yourself to a man who isn't worthy of your brains and don't give up on your education! Think of all those poor shoes who won't have a home!
