[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No income requirement, particularly as we met midway through college. And based on our majors, it was clear that in our future my salary would always be significantly less than his (I actively pointed this out to him early on, it's a notoriously low paying career), so who was I to judge? I will concede, as have a couple of PPs, that overall employability and reliability was important to me. If DH had flaked out senior year, it would have been a different story. But if he had decided he wanted to be an elementary school teacher instead of an engineer, it would still have been fine. [/quote]

Right. My parents met in college and married when they were 22. My mom always said, "I didn't know exactly what your dad would do throughout his career, but I saw from the beginning that he is creative, works hard, and can hustle, so I had confidence in him." She told me to look for character traits more than the specific area of employment, especially when I was dating in my 20s. If you're dating in your 30s or 40s, specific employment is probably more important, since there's just less time to figure things out. [/quote]
