abitbroken Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I don't think its a big deal if he doesn't go back to school. I know someone who is a doctor blissfully married to a mechanic. They are both intelligent people and they compliment eachother well. They both work with their hands and have the same meticulousness. If he never goes to get a degree, so what. They both really "get" eachother and have enough things that offset eachother so they benefit from eachother's different strengths too. For example adults, adults who go back just to finish their general ED, just to say they did it. He can be one of those people. Anybody can be those type of people w/ a lil motivation. It's never too late to be successful. You cannot look at him thinking "this is where he needs to improve" or consider him lacking for not having a degree. If he is happy where he is at and lives within his means, and is a loving, caring man who you mesh well with - a degree doesn't matter. If you are embarrassed about it, then you need to reassess things. It doesn't mean people are unmotivated if they don't get a degree later on. Someone can be perfectly motivated in their job and in life. Some people are dealt a different hand when they were younger - either no one in their family went to school, they had a rough start, they were totally on their own or whatever or they had dyslexia or a mild learning disability that made them a not so perfect student as they wanted to be. I know there is help for that now, but not always and not everywhere. Link to comment
sweetestdesire Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 What do you know, he's interested in a business degree! that's an incredible field to major in. If he's willing to learn, I'm willing teach. Link to comment
sweetestdesire Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Very good points abitbroken, thanks! I don't expect him to accomplish what i did or will. He actually brought up never being able to go to school when he was younger & how he would like to go back. If i date him it's because I like how he is as a person not what he's "accomplished" Link to comment
sweetestdesire Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Do you not consider him to be successful right now because of his level of education? Correction, It's never too late to become "more" successful. Link to comment
