Dear Emily: after reading your concerns about being on the fast track, versus having a potential partner with a much more down-to-earth life style – one might say that unless you ascribe to the idea that a man must earn more than a woman does, there may not be an issue here.
On the other hand, one could also say that having odd jobs is not a sign of great ambition in a person – unless he happens to be in an apprentice carpentry program or something similar to that, where he will excel at some point in the future. However, if he's an intelligent and decent human being, and you can share ideas easily with him, the situation is certainly worth exploring before you jump to any conclusions.
You must know yourself well enough to determine if you are flexible about alternative life styles – being that certain things are deal breakers for all of us. However, if you could give these ideas some thought, and then write in again, that might help us get a better sense as to whether you’d be able to give this a fair chance – which both of you deserve! I look forward to hearing from you! -Kate
