[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like every other poster here makes 200-300k and is married to someone else making a salary in this range. How do you guys find women like this? I make in this range as well but every girl I’ve dated earns below 50k. I’m not sure I want to enter a marriage with such a disparity in earnings, but I cannot for the life of me find a single woman who is at my level career wise. Am I dating too young? I mostly stick with women 25-30. I’m

My wife is 43. She does not have a college degree. At age 25 she was making 55k as an "account manager ". Doesn't hurt that she's a smoke show.  She's in IT sales and now on average pulls 400k/yr.

Her qualities:
-very hard worker 
-great communicator
-very social, people like her
-smart
-hot

Just don't marry someone who wants to have babies and quit working. Also don't marry a beta woman. They are boring and lack ambition.

At this point I would not object to her to quit working. She was with a company who went IPO (so major options) and has spent almost 20 years contributing to a 401k. However it is not in her personality to sit at home watching Oprah and organizing PTA bake sales. [/quote]

And you still don’t care that she does not have a degree?[/quote]

Why would I care? She makes more money than the vast majority of people with a degree and is smarter than most. I win the jackpot in the lottery of wives. Smart, high earner and a dime. [/quote]
I would be embarrassed if it came up in social situations.  People will look down on her. Plus, how will you tell your kids thaf a college degree is a must?[/quote]

NP: My ex went to Cambridge, his PhD was at Harvard, and he was a professor at a school that you would throw acid on your own face if it meant your DC had a better chance. He also ran a company. He never cared where people went to school or if they even went to school. What they accomplished spoke for itself. People who are impressive don't really care what the average or even somewhat above average person thinks.

I guess if you're sitting around at a cocktail party asking really boring questions like "where did you go" or "what do you do" then this matters. But wow, that's bleak. [/quote]
 I think there's something to be said about a person who is self made, no college degree and makes a ton of money vs someone with a college graduate

that was paid for by the parents and the person making $150K, which is fine, but it's not $400K.

I would think the self made person is smart, ambitious, and a go getter.  I'd marry such a person.  You know that person knows how to hussle.[/quote]

What if she loses that job? Could happen anytime. She may have trouble getting another job without a college degree. One pony show. [/quote]

My wife has never lost her job, but she's switched jobs a few times. She likes to chase IPOs are RSUs.  She's a top performer and the recruiting is done by the companies, she interviews them and to see what kind of upside the territory has and how low she can negotiate the quota. When you are highly respected in your field and have a proven track record there's no "looking for a job". [/quote]
