More educated women are "marrying down"

[BCEagle91]

<br>

<p>it is hard to deny the fact (as of today) that being a
college-graduated US citizen who will likely have a job is a draw
for his/her potential mate from other country where many of its
citizens prefer to immigrate here by any means, possibly including
marriage.</p>

<br>

<p>No it isn’t. I know many engineers that have moved back to India
and China for the better employment opportunities vs cost of living
calculation.</p>

<br>

<p>If this is the case, the one in US will likely not know
whether he or she is “desirable” to the other party due to his/her
nationality, or his/her own personal merit.</p>

<br>

<p>Various people have told me that there are Indian women that get
STEM degrees to demonstrate their personal merits to prospective
husbands, not necessarily intending to use them but able to if
need be.</p>

<p>I would assume that the sets of parents doing the arranging have
the idea of “bringing to the table” in mind.</p>
