[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women tend be more judgmental toward lower educated people (men and other women) compared to men. A college education doesn't make you educated. Simply because you have a bachelor's in something doesn't mean you are actually educated.

I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics. It took 2.5 years to graduate because I completed many college math courses while still in high school. I have noticed once women know that I graduated with a math degree somehow they put me on this pedestal of "smart" people. I am not smart, I just took the easy route by focusing on something I am good at.

We recently had our windows replaced and I was so impressed with the work of the carpenter . Ironically on paper at least a woman is more likely to "pick" me over the carpenter simply because have a "college education". That carpenter that she overlooked because he is not "educated" is probably going to be a better husband than me.[/quote]
If you are lazy and don't have good earning potential, then yea, doesn't matter how "smart" you are in math.

FWIW, both my DH and DS are strong in math. DH was an eng major, and DS is a dual math/CS major.  DH can also fix stuff around the house and has started teaching DS how to fix stuff, too.

DH made more than me when we first got together, but that was partly due to him being in the industry a lot longer than me. At one point. we earned the same, and then eventually, I out earned him.[/quote]
