Empirical Insights: How Higher Education Impacts Divorce Rates Among Women

[Dash Riprock]

Generally speaking, people with a formal education like a 4-year degree have superior critical thinking and problem solving skills. Once the honeymoon phase in a marriage is over, real problems arise on a regular basis. People who can communicate, have higher EQ, and can negotiate (because marriage is one big act of negotiation) as adults, will undoubtedly have lower levels of divorce. It's a no-brainer.

Take two uneducated people who get married and live in a trailer home in the sticks of Kentucky with a household income of $40K/year, eating Cheetos and drinking Budweiser for breakfast, and it's a recipe for lots of conflict and a very short marriage.

If I lose to the better man or woman, I study on what they did right and try and implement it.

The thing for me is that I've rarely lost a job to a more qualified candidate when I've seen who I lost a job to during an interview process.

I was recently given a promotion for my work performance into another role. I was later said that it wasn't going to happen anymore because of "Restructuring" and the company missing quota. I put the puzzle pieces together and it turns out this Good Ole Boy Dude Bro White Guy that doesn't even meet half his quota and KPIs was given the job because he complained lol.

That's very bad. I would be looking to leave that company as a result.

Why would two people like that get married in 2023? That might have happened in the late 20th Century, but I can't imagine that happening now.

Sadly, it does. At least in the US.

That is a poor conclusion of the data. It’s not the education itself, it is the socioeconomic status. People with higher education on average make more money, and tend to mate with people of the same socioeconomic status. The number one cause of divorce is financial issues (usually instability).

But to add on, I always bring up the "Country Club" reference because if you ever been a member of one you know it's different set of rules that the "local elites" play,and Sandra and Nicole don't need Tinder, even though every guy on sosusave swears that they do lmfaooo
