CoronitaParticipant[quote=spdrun]What does that have to do with this discussion? My point was that marrying a blue-collar guy that’s not driven to be a Qualcomm or Goldman Sachs drone isn’t the end of the world as FlyerInHI seems to think.[/quote]
WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE OP’S ORIGINAL DISCUSSION?
THIS ISN’T TINDER!!!

Guest[quote=spdrun]If a girl falls in love with a future shop keeper, plumber or electrician, her family might end up much more financially secure than being married to a software engineer who’s obsolete by age 40.
Competition isn’t everything, BTW. Kids need time to be themselves, not be driven from one awful after-school program to another.[/quote]
And how many plumbers and dry-wallers own their own business, vs. the ones that are on drugs and just survive?
Sure, competition and education aren’t everything. But statistically, they work. Korea became a rich country in 30 years by focusing on those values (notwithstanding the high suicide rate in Korea).
Aren’t you Jewish? Jewish people are very driven.

ParticipantDid you think this was a pickup joint? Didn’t know you were looking, flu.
May 4, 2015 at 4:59 PM #785797CoronitaParticipantI think most women tend to love men who believe in God that also lives in a tract home….Discuss.
There, I’ll throw this random topic in this thread….Why not?
Let’s go for that trifecta of a thread.
North county tract homes, affordability, relationship, asians, women, and religion.

Wow, stereotypes. There are plenty of hard-core druggies among software and finance types as well. Probably more, considering that stimulants help people deal with long working hours.
And the high-pressure white-collar folks tend to be more apt to overspend as well. They might make more at the outset, but the money goes down the drain just as quickly.

Participantflu, clearly, you’re now trying to “pollute” the thread.
Panties in a bunch lately? What’s wrong, flu? You can tell the Piggs.
Believe it or not, I always considered you as one of the most successful of the enginerds on this board. It had nothing to do with your housing choices or anything like that.
It was because of your breadth of experience in your field. And the fact that you know how to “relax.”
Don’t you have any track cars that are up and running right now?
Why don’t you go take a spin this evening?
