Well motivation is another factor. Do you want to be with someone who has no or little motivation compared to you? I can't be with someone that has very little motivation to move forward in life. But a better question is .....hhhmmmmm..... I will be seeking the highest degree a PhD and the other person only wants job skills such as a trade school education... would that constitute someone not being good enough? At the same time are you being a social snob by not going out with this person because of his financial status? 
no, i have plans to meet this person. however a guy friend stated that he thinks that he isn't good enough for me, that i deserve better. I am far from being a social snob, I come from a low socioeconomic background and have worked very hard to get where I am. I will be the only person from my immediate family to graduate from college and will probably be the only person is my extended family from achieving a PhD. So, I guess the next question is, the person that made the comment to me.... jealous or concerned? I dont quite know yet... i guess i will find out in about a month or so. |

Congrats on the PHD. No second doctorate? Your dilemna is minor. Your problem of caste is only a problem if you let it be. Sounds like a bit of jealousy. Everyone deserves the best for what they strive for.

Just my opinion. Don't hold it against me.

No, it doesn't constitute someone not being good enough. But..you may go thru some changes as you advance in your education. And you will change some more when you start working when you are done with college. You may be a different person than you are today. |

But...the type of man that will be right for you may be different. Your needs and wants will be different. I'm not sure why I brought it up. It's just something to think about. It has to do with something I went thru when I finished college. |

I know that in american, social class divisions aren't always evident... however, what is everyone's opinion about dating/relationships/marriage with someone of a lower social class? Does it bring you down? Like pretty much anything else, it would only bring me down if the other person kept rubbing my nose in it. |

I've been poor, rich, lived in my own house, lived on the street, drank from a golden cup, and licked paper plates. I'm just trying to survive until something comes along that gives me the drive, which could or could not be far away. Perhaps this person needs something to help him better himself.

Doesn't that person need to do it for themselves? If they do it for someone else, it might make a co-dependent relationship.
It might also be setting things up for future resentments. |

Indeed, but sometimes other people can open your eye's to what you need to do. Gentle push, not an aggressive shove.

It's not doing it for someone else, someone can just help out with showing how to better THEIR life. Happened to me, figure it can't hurt to try. |
