“If someone writes, for example, sales it could mean that the boy has a college degree in buisness or finance… yet, it could also mean that the person never went to college at all.”
IMO, it does not matter, I never took any college courses and I work with many people who have college degrees. Not only do I make more money than most of them, I also know more about the work we do and in general do a better job than they do. I am confident that if you were to compare my work to that of my college educated contemporaries you would believe I was better educated than them. The reason for this is that I had good role models growing up and I saw that a good work ethic and desire to succeed is all that is needed to be successful (provided that you are fairly intelligent). Why would you say that college education is important when looking for a shidduch? I personally prefer not to go out with girls who are college educated (it usually wouldn’t be a deciding factor) b/c they tend to look down on people like me and I have a general disdain for education.
