i normally do not respond to forums with anything that might be construed as inflamatory. i am a firm believer that if you can't say anything nice...Keep your mouth shut! However, to this i have to say something. i have a high school diploma and some college and i am gainfully employed fully capable of supporting myself and my family in a reasonably comfortable manner. To imply that without a college degree, a woman is somehow lesser than one who does have one is entirely prejudiced. i personally consider myself an intelligent, well-spoken, capable person, and my lack of a college diploma does not change that. Just my two cents...that and 4 years of college might make me change my mind! lol krazysubbiekat i never said a woman with a high school diploma was worth less as a person than a woman with a college degree. i myself have a college degree in sociology -- which means i spent about 4 years skinny dipping, going to parties, etc. what i said was the economy young people today face is much more difficult than the one i faced in the '70's. i said the ecomony had begun shrinking and that it was shifting towards a service base -- meaning labor which may not pay as well. Job security is becoming a thing of the past; and no one can feel their employer is loyal to them in big companies like Enron. So, my point was, a college degree may have not a whit to do with a person's attractiveness or worth or dignity, but it will help them compete in a more hostile economy. pinkpleasures
