writes:Does education matter in relationships? The guy I like is a successful store manager but he only went to community college. I'm completing the last year of my business BA. I like him for who he and I'm proud of who he is. But I'm worried that if I start advancing my career, I still start to care that he is not a professional. Is this something that will effect our life/relationship? I have only dated people I met in school so I'm not sure what to expect. Thanks! Reply to this Question

Things like these are only a problem if you let it be. If you are happy with him and vice versa then it wont be a problem. If it ever becomes a problem then you should just talk to him about it.

 There are some very successful highschool drop outs... like Sean Carter also known as Jay-Z who has a very successful wife who never went to college. you might have heard of her.. also being a HS dropout doesnt mean the person didnt go on to get a ged or continue there education in some way.
more Education or what i like to call people with more paper work only matters when pride and ignorance come into play... to say someone is not a professional....
At the end of the day when your old and gray it will be the character of your person and the people you love and who love you that counts... not your long gone career and meaningless degres

Yes, education matters if you have a college degree and you're with a high school drop out.
You're worrying too much. To someone with a PhD, a BA probably isn't enough--so don't think too highly of yourself.

 it does matter but there are more important things. if your boyfriend is intellectually compatable then you will be ok.
