What has a PhD got to do with love?




When it comes to marriage, do the academic qualifications really matter?
I have often heard some men and even women in certain circles criticize single women taking higher degrees (especially doctorates). The summary of their conversation is usually:
1. No man who is yet to attain that level of learning would be confident enough to approach a grad student
2. The ladies will probably be too proud of their achievements to settle for less academically.
I believe this argument is flawed because;Not everyone desires to be married. So that lady who you are assuming  to be proud might just be uninterested in the institution. Also, everyone needs a good dose of self confidence. So as a man who is interested in a graduate student, I suggest you build up your self confidence and approach her rather than criticize a young intelligent woman for her choices.

What do you think? As a man, would you mind if your wife had a higher academic qualification? Should single women (who desire to be married) put a cap on their academic pursuit until they are hooked or should we just be allowed to live out our choices per time.

  2. Well I could decide to construct a well put together sentence on how a man doesn't define a woman as regards this subject matter but I won't. I would rather say it's only a man who's an otondo would feel put down by an academically advanced woman.
