Parents aren't directly discriminating against education level.
Rather, they are focused on the guy's ability to do well in
future.
I know many of you will spout rags to riches story with little
education, but those are the exceptions rather than the norm.
There has always been a strong correlation between the well
educated and being well-to-do.
If the guy only has O-levels but making millions every year, no
parent will make any noise.
However, if you are unqualified and in a nowhere job, dun be
surprised that not only the parents will look down on you, but
majority of our Singapore population.
I'm sorry, but it is a fact of life. Even myself am guilty. I may
try not to look down, but I can't help having some condenscending
thoughts, despite good intentions. As Singaporean Chinese, many of
us are brought up to view the importance of material wealth. We are
victims of our own societal upbringing. Even more so for our gahmen
elites.
