I definately think that in the end it is up to how YOU feel about him and ya'll situation. You obviously have at least a small problem with his lifestyle, or else you wouldn't even be asking us for our opinion. So, I will give you mine (to go along with the other million)
I personally find education to be important. I have dated guys in the range of not having a college education all the way to doctors. I have found that I personally just didn't have that much in common with men who did not go to college. I think there are so many experiences that college gives you, that you will automatically have a little bit more of a connection with a college graduate than someone else.
I do agree that intelligence is a better measure than college credits. But, it naturally follows that a college graduate is likely going to be more intelligent. (Please don't flame me for this people, it is just an opinion.)
I personally found that dating the doctor provided me with the most intellectually stimulating relationship I have had. I have this LOVE of learning, and his intelligence made me want to learn even more! And he also happened to have so many of the other qualities that I crave in a relationship. Tenderness and a sense of humor, etc.
If you are thinking about getting serious with this man, I think you DO need to have a conversation about his goals and aspirations. Don't worry about coming across as rude- if he is serious about you then he should understand why you need to know his plans for the future.
