I find the conclusion weird. My youth was quit a mess which made me unable to even get a bachelor degree. Then I found work and happiness in life and I realised I didn’t need the degrees to get decent work and decent pay. My girlfriend however, has a bachelor, master, and PhD. I don’t think she feels she dates “below” some paper/phony standard society made up … If anything, she feels she could have just gotten a nice job right after her bachelor or master’s degree.
