Is it difficult to date someone with a higher/lower degree than yours?

My sister quit with a guy who "only" had a high school degree, yet later on she got desperate due to my brother's girlfriend and married such a guy anyway. She said about the first guy that he seemed "not smart enough" to her, although I wonder what should be smart about turning proposals down until my brother got engaged before her. 馃檮

Anyway my crush also has "only" a high school degree, but she's way smarter than her co-workers, not to mention socially more compatible and such. Now our convos already consisted of personal stuff like about family and our past, but also about her profession regarding healthy nutrition and my profession in computer science. But I don't feel like talking about her job in private since she works 50 hours each week, and I don't want her to feel like she hardly knew anything about computer science, whilst my specification focuses on users and not machines, and she understands even more about that than my father who is a computer scientist in geography.

Now what should we talked about without making things seem weird? I'm interested in movies and books, like taking pictures of nature and sunsets, and she often spends time with her girls. I'd like to spend time with her in private as well and watch movies with her and just talk about random thoughts.

Could this ever become a problem between her and me?

No. Unless you look down on her for having less education than you or you try and belittle her in anyway. And always keep her in mind when you talk about work because that sti might seem really interesting to you but dull for her.

I think if she communicates well it shouldn鈥檛 be a problem. After some time you could even inspire her to take some classes at a community college in the area. Personally I think education is very important however I try to be understanding of others and yet hope to inspire them to further their education.

@MissNoahLenFoxx I actually thought about motivating her to become a manager and have her own shop in which she could have me help her with possible technological solutions. She does a great job, but she actually does more than she's paid for, which is why I'd like her to become a manager.

@MissNoahLenFoxx But somehow I don't seem used to work life at all. Like I meanwhile got to know about "mandatory overtime" and on the other hand while she works as much as my father does, she does far more than him, has similar skills like him yet would even work more hours as a manager despite earning more. To be fair, it would be like 10% more hours and 200% more money, but I still think she deserves a job in which she somehow has free time, like my father works in home-office and can watch tv whilst my crush only has co-workers and me to talk to at her workplace, and I somehow wonder if that's enough for her. But on the other hand I don't dare asking, since she does that job for already 10 years now. :/
