Nope, i dont think so, as a woman i am expected to "marry up" not otherwise, and i prefer enlightened ppl to roll with,i had a bf dat was a poly graduate, most of d time he kept taking potshots @ my university education even though i never discriminated against his and i graduate with an above average degree, i think it helps in a relationship if a man perceives he is more enlightened dan his woman, d male ego is a very fragile thing:p :-XNope, i dont think so, as a woman i am expected to "marry up" not otherwise, and i prefer enlightened ppl to roll with,i had a bf dat was a poly graduate, most of d time he kept taking potshots @ my university education even though i never discriminated against his and i graduate with an above average degree, i think it helps in a relationship if a man perceives he is more enlightened dan his woman, d male ego is a very fragile thing:p 4 Likes |

^^ That guy was simply jealous of you/and had a complex issue. Personally, I don't think both partners must have equal educational achievements in order to be compatible. 2 Likes |

Is Polythecnic in Nigeria, the same thing as community college?? I really don't know what it means/entails  Yep, I could marry a drop-out, only if he dropped out to achieve his dreams. His dream have to be reasonable and I have to believe in it. It would be easier if he has started making cool money from his actualized dreams though. 11 Likes |

educated people cud sometime b very difficult to relate n coincide wit in a marriage, they will stick to their belief on everytin rather than accepting it in a general accepted view dat cud benefit both parties. Being a graduate doesn't really mean u re educated, most of our ancestors lived solely on natural wisdom without even seeing d walls of academic institutions, yet they were able 2 create n discover most of d tins we so depend upon today. albert aston eistein said that education is wat remains wen everytin u re tot in school is gone. The high rate of divorce in d western communities cud b traced to paper education, where couples tink changing partners is the best way of marital problems resolutions, unlike our ancestors who were trained dat marriage is 4 beta 4 worse. i dont see university degree as yardstick 4 a working marriage. me already bag my Bsc sha. 30 Likes 1 Share |
