I know a guy who is really sweet and a good person. I’d be interested in dating him. He has a HS education. However, he’s also a volunteer fireman, volunteer EMT, coaches soccer for little kids, and goes to church twice a week. It’s really important to me to find someone who enjoys giving back to the community and who has God in their life.
However, my parents insist that I don’t date anyone without at least a Bachelor’s degree. Ideally, they’d like me to date only doctors. What do you think?

You can date him. Just don’t marry him unles you want to be the sole bread winner of the family. You have to think about your future and you seriously don’t want to be living poverty at the expense of the tax payers. This guy probably volunteers because he can’t get on with a paid FD or ambulance which should give some warning signals to you.
People with education and a good future can give back to a community and probably give much more. Follow your parents’ advice.
WFT!!.. Date anyone you want IMO
I think you should date whoever you want. If he makes you happy then go for it. Your parents are being judgemental and rude. He sounds like a good guy. If you like him date him!
I think that it shouldnt matter what your parents think. If you really like guy it shouldnt matter if he has a college degree or not. He seems like a really good guy. As education goes it didnt matter to my parents they dated and got married and was married for 25 years. My father didnt have more and a middle school education but he did go to school to become a plumber and as for my mom she only has a high school diaploma and that didnt stop them from being together. So if you really like him and want to be with him then do it. Its seems like you are old enough so just go for it. Well I hope I helped.
My answer, as with any other sane person’s, will be:
You’re an adult. You can date whomever you choose. Too bad if your parents don’t approve; they’ll get over it.
What woman or gay very gay man would turn down a firefighter.. After all what a women really wants is to be saved..
Well I dated a medical doctor for 3 years and she wanted me to marry her bad.. I turned her down because she thought she was all that and a bowl of grits. I also dated a girl with a doctorate of mathematics for a short while and she was devastated when I dumped her. What I learned from the experiences is its amazing how someone who is supposedly smarter than me because of the continued education was they maybe well educated in a few subjects they are pretty dumb in many other subjects. This was not the reason of me dumping them it was when I had my many moments to shine to show how much more I knew they always threw in a nonchalant way that they were doctors as to say that means no matter how much more I knew then they did the fact they were doctors trumped me every time.
Yes I am a pathetic high school graduate (with a 3.8gpa) and had the options of going to college but I was getting so much poon I didn’t need money or status to get laid.. Looking back now I should have gone.
