Oh, with a few good questions in a email or phone conversation or on a blind date, you can certainly figure it out. One of the first questions that I general ask is where did you go to college? It's a good, innocuous ice breaker. If a guy answers that he went to a university, but is working a Starbucks, I run far away from it. Ditto with a guy who doesn't plan to go to college. I'd probably continue talking to a student working at Starbucks, but most of those guys generally list their occupation as "Student," not "Starbucks barista."

True, I never suggested otherwise. But that's misdirection and not on point. It was you who raised Starbcuks guy, not me. And you never suggested that you shared emails or phone conversations with him.

Your point here is 100% correct and valid, but has nothing much to do with what I was responding to in your post. You came across as cavalierly dismissing a man because of the nature of his work. I reread your post and found nothing to support what you are writing now. While I agree with you here, it's a different message than what I responded to.

A credit to your crackerjack, discerning mind! Good. I'm with you on this.
