Question:
Let's say, hypothetically, that you met a guy that you thought was really cool. So, you got to talking, and found out that he was not interested in a college degree. At all. He works enough to support himself doing something he enjoys that doesn't require a degree, and he's working on becoming a full-time professional musician.
Would you still be interested in this guy, or would that be a major turn off? Help me out, please.
EDIT: For purposes of this, we're assuming that this guy is Christian and that music really is God's plan for his life.
Answer:
Assuming that this guy is a Christian and feels like this is God's plan for him, than I'd totally still be interested! But if he didn't have a plan, hadn't discussed it with God, and just wanted to wing his life, I'd say "come back when you have a little more to offer."
Answer:
So long as he's enjoying his job and supporting himself, no big deal. I mean, money is nothing if you hate getting up to go to work EVERY -freakin- day.
Theoretically though, he'll need to do more than support *himself* if he's interested in a family...something to think about.

Answer:
Sure I'd still be interested if he is doing what GOD wants him to do! If that is his music, more power to him! :) As has already been said, he does need to be able to support a family or at least a wife is this is GOD's plan for him. Unless you have your heart set on living it up with a rich guy, I would still be interested. Don't worry about it. Just be sure that you are both following the Lord's Will.
Answer:
If it's really God's will, then you shouldn't worry about it.. I would still be interested..totally.. But if he didn't have no plan with his life I would have given it a second thought.. But what you do isn't the most important in a relationship.. The most important is that you follow God,, and that you love eachother..
Answer:
I think it's more of the case of what the hypothetically interested one is looking for. If that's something that would cause problems in a relationship, then it would probably be unwise...
As far as if I were an estrogenian, I couldn't tell you...because I can't think like a female.
Answer:
What part of the music ministry industry is he trying to get into? Most anything besides a stage performer or Christian music store cashier would require an actual education. And even for a stage performer, some entity of a formal education would be valuable.
Assuming that this is truly God's will: It all depends on what he's doing with this revelation he's received from God. Is he working towards the goal he's been given? Or has he hunkered down right where he is, expecting God to do everything for him? I mean, I may be overly cynical on the situation but no scriptural examples come to mind of God telling people what he wants them to do and then holding their hand and carrying them the whole way through.
Basically, I don't know that I'd be all gung ho with this boy.
Answer:
i would totally still be interested if he was a christian and if it was Gods will #1 fro him to be amusician and #2 that we be together
