[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=Dukehorn] And in this day and age, it’s the affluent and well-educated marrying among themselves. Latest weddings I went to JD/JD, MBA/MD, MBA/MD, Phd/MD, Phd/MD. I know a few couples with a MD wife and a BA/BS husband (but all the guys were swimming in tech options). Hate to say that marriage has a business like transaction aspect to it but let’s not pretend that it doesn’t.[/quote]
Yep. I said it, but best to pretend in polite company.[/quote]
Well educated? So you’re saying if you’re not a PhD/MD/JD, then you’re not well educated?
As for affluent, I would have believe this statement when I was 22, but after many years of working, I’ve opened my eyes I see that W2-er, be it MD/JD/PhD or Engineers/RN/etc, are not the affluent. They’re they solid upper middle class. But the truly affluent are the biz owners. As I’ve said earlier in the thread, I know people who have nothing more than a BS and are not even using their degrees, are now having net worth that would run circle around any PhD/MD/JD. I also know a PA who own a clinic who “employ” a MD so he can have his clinic. Guess who gets to keep all the profit from that clinic?
FYI, degrees is definitely not even close to the top factor for me when finding a spouse. Net worth is much higher than degrees and net worth is not even the top 3.
