[quote=Anonymous]I grew up working class blue collar and now have a doctorate and high income.  I think this could work if the still blue-collar person has a good reason for not having gone to college. Maybe they had ambition but life didn't work out as they hoped, or maybe they had ambition that manifested itself in something like carpentry expertise or electronics.  Otherwise, you probably would have opposing world views and this would doom the relationship.  Most of the guys in my neighborhood who didn't go to college had no curiosity about what was on the other side of town, much less of the country or the globe.  They didn't care about books or art (other than heavy metal rock band music) and sneered at my interests.  I know someone from back home who wanted to become a painter but he couldn't afford to go to college or art school.  He now does painting of people's kitchen cabinets or baby murals in your nursery, and paints on his own time. He sells a few of his paintings now and then. But he's traveled around the US, Canada, and Mexico and has a thirst for beauty in nature and architecture.  I'm pretty sure he's been to Europe to see the museums and buildings.  Somebody like that could be a good match for a person with a white collar profession.  Kinda like the guy on Sex in the City who Carrie was with but dumped after he renovated her apartment.[/quote]
