The only problem I have with the idea is you can lie about it, you might find a guy/woman who claims they have a college degree because it sounds good and it turns out they barely finished high school.  Been there. I love it when a date goes to hell

If you could persuade a person to have a conversation with you, then you would learn about educational details. I agree with what Dave said.. I've not had difficulty discerning the level of intelligence a user has once they've "opened their mouth" so to speak(and I'm not talking typo's).. I hold several BA's in differing fields but found that Life itSELF has offered a more profound level of education.. so if that option were offered.. I'd probably add "LIFE educated" as well.. I've also spoken to some from other sites that DO offer that option.. and as paintecards said above.. one can put whatEVER they want there.. but agree that it doesn't necessarily make it TRUE.. TxsGal had a good point as well.. you're profile is your landscape to shape however you choose.. some of us actually DO read them through.. I'd suggest you add your criteria there.. in hopes of finding a better or more suitable match.. good luck and "mingle".. you really CAN learn a lot about a person by how they respond in the forums.. just sayin..  I so not agree with what most say. Being higher educated means you have an interest in learning which usually means you are also eager to learn at life's university. Someone who doesn't care or doesn't have the brain to study (don't mean judgement, just factual), will be happy to work a simple job, peel the potatoes and raise a family and not think about deeper things in life. Nothing wrong with that, but it won't match with someone who does have higher education and interest in deeper subjects, the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Sure there are exceptions to the rule, but education is a good indication as far as I'm concerned. The argument that you have a whole profile is lame. It means you could get rid of the other fields too (age, gender, nationality, profession, body type etc etc) @ Paintecards: One could fill out whatever one wants? Yes, goes for the rest as well. Really surprised that no one seems to see the added value of an education field. I don't think it's worth the effort to add a field when someone could just add that info to their profile, if they wanted it known. I list myself as a graduate student on my profile, so anyone knows I'm in college. I don't know, just seems like a tiny thing to waste time on. I guess I'm also a bit biased; I've spent most of my life around "educated" people and I find them to usually be elitist, intolerant, close-minded, snotty people, so I'd probably shy away from some guy who raved about his education, not be attracted to him for it. But I'm weird like that. Ding ding ding. The second comment that I liked. I need to buy you a drink...lol |

> but , for me, compatibility depends upon much 'deeper' things than what someone pursued
I do agree with you there. Compatibility isn't all about education although it is not a bad place to start. Well, unless you're a guy and you start your opinion of compatibility on a woman's breast size :)> |

I think people should cut open their heads, take pictures and post them in their profiles.

I see what you guys are saying about wanting an option like that and that is fine. I do however have a problem with how far a person traveled in school to be relevant to ones aptitude or love for learning. I for one dropped out of school because I was sincerely bored with it. I went strait to work even though I had passed college entrance exams at the age of fifteen. School just wasn't and still isn't for me. I had always learned on my own outside of the classroom so much so I could skip and entire week, month or whatever sit down take the test on a given subject and pass it easily. I will always see myself as a student of life who tries to learn something new everyday. I never want to stop learning because when I do I believe it'll be time to get off of the right side of the grass and start pushing up daisies. I did take my G.E.D at twenty-seven without studying or brushing up on anything. I hadn't even seen the inside of a classroom for more than a decade and I still aced it and finished in half the time as the rest of those taking it with me. I'm not at ALL surprised bro.. considering smart genes run in our family

It will greatly enhance the quality of members'experience / satisfaction on this site if basic educational background info if included on member's profile. It is insulting to think that physical and social compatibility alone can make a good lasting match. Yes, if all one is looking for is sex and economic tag-on. Mental / intellectual capability that has been honed by educational experience beyond elementary / primary school level is an important factor in the choice of many male and female members. It is difficult to communicate and progress friendship when the two have an excessive gap in intellectual capability attributable to prior educational experiences. Please can you add this factor on members profiles so the very educated ones wanting partners they can communicate with don't end up as it is now, with choice of uneducated elementary /high school drop outs who think their beauty / handsomeness etc can make up for their educational and usually, reasoning capability deficiencies. Thanks. Seriously. You look down on people because of education. knowledge doesn't make a man. It may make you boring when you cannot see past your own importance to explore and get to know others. People may not seem to have your huge intellectual capability that you attribute to your greatness. However I am sure that we do have some semblance of intellectual ability with our less than adequate elementary/ high school education. Poor Me |

Even after a dozen or so strokes diabetes and heart issues can still hold a decent conversation in more languages than I can count on both hands. |

Just because someone can't or won't continue their education to get a degree doesn't mean they don't have drive. Maybe their drive is different. Maybe it's to support their family because they have to immediately.
I never discount people with the simple jobs because they are needed too. a lot of times they do the needed work that nobody else wants to...like cleaning or garbage men |

I'm not really too wild about the idea.
We do have 'profession' in people's profiles, and in a lot of cases, you can put two and two together to figure out the person's minimal educational requirement for that profession. But math is hard. |
