Overqualified for love??

Since I've been thinking of applying to PhD programs, this sort of thing has piqued my interest...it's sad that many women feel becoming further educated might hinder their ability to meet men, while if a man has a PhD or MBA or MD or whatever, it automatically makes him more appealing.

Most of my friends have advanced degrees with those three letters :) ... it's so common, that I doubt anyone would look at you like you're an untouchable super genius nerd. However *you* will be a gal all your own who is fascinating with a great deal of knowledge about art with your three letters next to your name! I think it's definitely a perception thing, but I guarantee you that when you get through the phd, by then you will know so many other people with diverse backgrounds and advanced degrees that it won't seem like something that will set you so far apart from people and definitely not from finding a man. I think there are some men in this world without advanced degrees who initially might feel a bit of intimidation, but once he gets to know YOU, that won't be some huge factor that makes or breaks the relationship...there would be many other factors. We're all just regular people...the phd is merely evidence that there is a subject you are extremely interested in studying and/or a specific job you want that requires it.
I hope you go for the phd or a masters..you sound like you really want to study more about art. good luck!

I'm a lot older than you are and I am well enough educated to be able to share my experiences
Yeah....I suppose.
