I thought I had answered this way back when it was first posted, but apparently I didn't. Here are my thoughts (and I'm a 40 something).
I want him to be stable in his career (not just working a job, but doing something he enjoys that is relatively secure and a challenge to him in some way).
I want him to know where he wants to be in 10/20/30 years and actively working to be there.
I want him to be able to discuss things (world events, politics, etc) in an intelligent way because otherwise I'd get bored with him.
I want him to use proper grammar (no "I seen..." type habits) because those kinds of things drive me up the wall.
Does it take a college education to do the things above? Nope. Does it take intelligence and a good work ethic? Yes.
