What Katherine did is an unwritten rule in most European countries. That is, its expected that when a woman goes to college she comes home with a degree AS WELL AS a potential well to do HUSBAND. Basically you go to college for both. Why have Americans not figured this out yet?
It could be that a lot of women go to college to get an education.
Also, how would you know the intentions of Catherine The Duchess of Cambridge?
Do you have a direct hotline to her home so you can chat about these things?
I, for one, never wanted a "well to do" husband. I never considered money and love to be of the same value. Guess which one I value more? I want my marriage to be fully based on love. And my ability to earn to remain undiminished. Heaven forbid something happens to him or our marriage, I sure don't want to be reliant on divorce court to see me and my family fed.

Actually, the same thing used to be true in America in the 50s but we've moved on since then. Check out the movie "Mona Lisa Smile" which is based on the idea that in the 50s, women only went to university to bide their time until they found a husband. Nowadays, we believe people should marry when they feel they are ready and when they feel they found the right person to marry and regardless of that person's economic status. I had no idea such a concept was still considered radical to some.
I'm sure there's some women that do go to college to find a man that will make money. However the average guy out there doesn't have any talent, he just goes to college because he doesn't know what else to do, and that piece of paper will accompany a wheelbarrow full of student debt to be paid off by his mediocre job. There's better avenues for which gold diggers can pursue their goals
I'm guessing this is what you did? Except your husband is too old to have gone to college with you, right?
Education is never wasted. Even if a woman went to school to find a husband, she probably learned enough to make her a more well-rounded member of society.
Same thing as making college athletes go to class. Not many will go pro. At the end of the day, most will come out with a better chance at a successful career in SOMETHING other than washing cars or dealing dope.
Ew. When I was in college I was a mess. My personality was unformed, and I had no clue what I was doing with my life. Why on EARTH would I have wanted to get married? I did not graduate at the top of my high school class and my parents and I did not take on major debt to fund my Ivy League education so I could graduate with a husband. I went to college to become an educated and self-supporting adult, not dive into a marriage when I didn't even know myself, let alone another person.
What a ridiculous premise.
