I'm going to get accused of being a gold digger, which I am not... however, job? doesn't matter? Salary, I'd prefer that he made as much or slightly more than I do.

One of the last guys I dated, made a lot less than I did. He liked what he did, and he was good at it, but it was just never going to pay a lot. nature of the job. Job satisfaction is important and that matters more than salary, to a point.

He used to complain incessantly, that going out to dinner would cost x amount of dollars (I'm not high maintenace at all, but don't even try McDonalds for me) Going Dutch was just too weird for me, and if I picked up the check (which also got to be a bit much for me after a while) he'd feel odd.

I dated another guy who made a lot more money than I did, his idea of fun was to go to Vegas for the weekend, or to the islands. Yah, once in a while it's great, but I can't afford that every other weekend, and some weekends I just want to stay home and do laundry.

Job doesn't matter any. Equivelent lifestyle and ability to support that lifestyle does.
