When we first started dating I probably did and then he went and leap frogged me ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so/page/2#post-355475 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 08:54:16 +0000 Alivoo01 355475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say me? I have my bachelors, been working in my career for 6 years, and have a certification. Hubby didn't finish college, but he's super social and charismatic and loves to help people. He runs our business, and could easily be the mayor of our town - that's how social and loveable he is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so/page/2#post-355250 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:48:55 +0000 tequiero21 355250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely my hubby. went to better college, got masters, got md.</p> <p>i just went to college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-355225 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:37:16 +0000 DigAPony 355225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically I look better on paper, as I have a Masters and a much longer work history. My husband started college but never finished; however, he totally supports us financially and is very smart and a very hard worker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-355166 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 23:03:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 355166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're so different, it's hard to compare. He's an innovator and thinker with less school but more creativity. I'm a very hard worker, though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-355109 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:09:52 +0000 mrsjyw 355109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're pretty on par? </p> <p>We both have our bachelors, I'm working on my dual mba/msf and DH already has his masters. He's worked a few years longer than me and makes a bit more than I do, but both of us are pretty ahead in our careers "agewise".... so grateful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-355108 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:08:45 +0000 alayaya 355108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting question.... I'm pretty sure he does. He makes the big bucks too.</p> <p>I have a BA in Psychology and a B.Ed in General Elementary Education. Currently working part time in an after school care center, waiting to see if I get pregnant or get on the Sub list.</p> <p>He has a BA in History (with a minor in Russian Language). He's the Internal Technical Support Manager for a Medical Software Company. He's taken a lot of training courses over the years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-355077 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:48:00 +0000 Penny Lane 355077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH for sure. Even though I'm the one with the degree, he's had the jobs. He's a programmer at Weta at the moment - the visual fx company that did LOTR etc. :)</p> <p>The last job I had was part time at a call centre for IRD (our IRS) while I was at college 09 - 11 ;D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-355075 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:47:23 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 355075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH I think. I have a Bcomm and he has a BEng. But he has an amazzzzing job making about 3 times as much as I do, and he is super smart.<br /> We were both on the deans list though. So up until graduation I'd say we looked the same on paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-355066 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 21:42:18 +0000 Minnie_Girl 355066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH, definitely. He has eight years of experience on me and we work in very different fields. I don't require certifications or degrees like he does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354940 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:40:19 +0000 yoursilverlining 354940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my husband, but we're fairly equal on paper; we just have totally different skill sets.</p> <p>He has his Ph.D so he wins that round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354916 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:30:03 +0000 Adira 354916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, definitely. I have my Master's and I was very active in a professional organization, including holding officer positions. Hubs has his Bachelor's, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354894 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:18:54 +0000 winniebee 354894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband. We both went to similar colleges, but he went to Harvard medical school and is doing his surgery residency there. I went to law school (but a state school). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354890 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:17:10 +0000 Meridian 354890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hrmm, me... MBA + entrepreneur. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354889 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:17:08 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 354889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we were on equal ground until he started med school and I became a SAHM. Now definitely DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354881 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:14:56 +0000 MsMini 354881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, I think we are pretty equal.</p> <p>DH - BScEng, has 3 years experience working for a defence contractor. Should shortly receive some of the credentials he needs to get his PEng.</p> <p>Me - BScN, have 6 years experience working in NICU. Working towards being an IBCLC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354805 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:22:31 +0000 PurplePumps 354805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much the same. We both have bachelors in Engineering, got our masters together, work at the same place, make about the same. We even have a credit score within 15 pts of each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354770 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:54:28 +0000 MamaMoose 354770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tough one. We went to the same college and have similar degrees. We have jobs in totally different fields now but equal levels of success. Hubs probably has the edge on the cool factor since he's a former pro athlete. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354692 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:02:48 +0000 littlebug 354692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably me. I have a Masters and have been working in my field for 8 years. We make the same amount of money. Hubs has been working in his current field for about 12 years, but it's not the field that his degree is in (not even close - his degree is kinesiology, he works in civil design!). So I don't know, I guess I have a slight edge, just because of my education level? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354688 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:00:34 +0000 MediaNaranja 354688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In terms of education, definitely me. My undergrad is from a top ranked university, and I am finishing my masters degree from a top ranked program as well. DH has the equivalent of a HS diploma (he grew up overseas).</p> <p>But in his chosen profession he is very talented, and had a lot of success in his home country, while I am still trying to figure out what to do once I graduate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354677 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:52:11 +0000 Ree723 354677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're pretty even. I have a BA and a Master's, for which I had a fellowship; I also have several years of international work experience and then served with Americorps for two years in a fairly prestigious program. </p> <p>DH has two bachelor's degrees, his second of which he received first class honours (the Australian equivalent of summa cum laude). He was one of 18 people selected (out of 2500 applicants) for a graduate program with a top tier engineering company and is now working on a $40 billion mega project. </p> <p>Very different but I'd say we both look pretty good on paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354675 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:48:43 +0000 Smurfette 354675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has the better job and the MBA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354661 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 17:37:56 +0000 HLK208 354661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH...he's the breadwinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354590 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:53:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 354590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. For sure! But he makes a million times more money than I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354573 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:48:21 +0000 chopsuey 354573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely dh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354569 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:46:19 +0000 banana 354569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around the same I'd say. But maybe me because I have more work experience. He's only been with one company for over 10 years whereas I've held various positions are different companies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354554 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:37:48 +0000 autumnlove 354554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH looks better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354552 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:34:50 +0000 Rubies 354552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm, this is hard. Hubs and I have very different jobs! I guess maybe hubs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354548 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:32:54 +0000 ShootingStar 354548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, haha. I make more, have more work experience and I have a master's from a top rated engineering school. DH does have a bachelor's from a better school than my BA is from, but he only has a grad certificate and the school isn't as good as mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-looks-better-on-paper-you-or-your-so#post-354542 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:29:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 354542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH. We went to the same school, but his degree is much more valuable and he's had a pretty steady career path and makes way more than I do. I bounced around figuring out what to do with myself for a while. He also has some certifications that are impressive. Fine with me, since I'll be a SAHM for a few years then plan to make a career change (to what remains to be seen). </p>
