"I'm sure that for someone who lives in a trailer park or an inner city ghetto, a guy who works as a mechanic is a good catch."
Disgusting sentiments but seeing that you're quite the snob, not surprising in the least. Tell me, what's your opinion of those Marines and soldiers out on patrol in Baghdad right now? Most of them don't have college degrees. They all get paid squat. Judging from your comments and attitude you wouldn't even give them the time of day; guys who exhibit bravery, courage and patriotism on a daily basis. But since their pay checks don't have enough zeros, they suck. Perhaps its a blessing in disguise though. Would they so readily put their lives on line knowing it was for women like you who thought so low of them?
Women do consider how much earning potential their future mate makes when considering marriage. Women want to feel they are secure and will be protected.

I'm just pointing out the obvious; I don't have anything in common with a guy who works in a low skill job. Why would I go out with one...

I'd hope that most of them are working on their college degrees or are going to get their degrees after they leave. It's subsidized by the U.S. army, so it would be not smart not to...

Yes and I admire them for it... That doesn't mean that I want to date them however. If I went out with a soldier especially an enlisted man, I'd probably have nothing in common with him. I don't know many Army guys who enjoy wine tasting, art museums, and political lectures, all hobbies of mine. And I really don't enjoy camping or watching football (except perhaps watching Notre Dame lose). Moreover, I do want a man who contributes to the household; I'm sorry that's the way things are. I'm sure that soldiers are "prime catches" for another catch of girls, but for those of us working toward our graduate degrees, they really are not our type...
