In the final analysis, the question you need to honestly ask yourself whether are you smart and hard working enough to compete in those highly sought after careers. If yes, then you devote many years and money (student loans) to your education, then maybe marry sideways to someone similarly educated, or with your greater wealth you can afford to marry down by finding your "boy toy." If you don't think that you can or want to deal with the work place stress and competition, then maybe get the "Mrs. degree" while still young and highly sought after and marry smart.
I thought this comment was insightful:
Lesley, London, UK: "Women who are marrying down are presumably very wealthy and can afford to keep their younger lover or are desperate due to lack of available men. I don't meet the right sort of men to marry - I want a nice man who is happy go lucky and has enough money so I can work part time or give up altogether if I want to. As I don't meet these men I am not married - and I suspect they would want younger women who may provide children, which is not part of my plan.... I was stupid enough to think with an education I could earn enough for a decent standard of living and a nice marriage based on love so wasted my younger years pursuing that. Now I realise I should have gone for the richer husband instead!"
