If she isn't thinking about marriage, the guy's education/career goals should be less of an issue. In my opinion, they appear to be somewhat on the same level, I don't think they are very far from each other. Neither of them are completely financially stable yet. Not everyone who has bachelor degrees go straight to a "nice" job. I know several people who has been out of college over a year and still work at Starbucks. I know a couple of people who dropped out of college, started their own business, and is quite successful. This is something you have to judge case by case.

Well, see that's what i am saying....it's no push to get married BECAUSE they are both so young, but she can't even see herself serious about dating...and with her family, they don't treat dating as a frivolous thing. As far as I know she has other guy friends that she hangs out with but this guy has been around for a minute, you know what I mean?
But, like I said...I was just using her as a detailed example not necessarily trying to get advice for her.
I was just curious to find out what other people do in this situation when you meet someone nice but altho they aren't where you are or however it is, but have a lot of upside, what do most of you tend to do or have done?
