As a woman with a college degree… let me just point out that a lot of us would give our eyeteeth for a man who fix the plumbing, the electric, that carburetor, the water heater and furnace, the hole in the roof, and other things that your ordinary literature major needs to call expensive professionals for.
One of my law school classmates married a plumber. They had/have a great marriage. I suspect he makes as much money as she does running his own plumbing company.
