But my opinion is that you should start at the Communion rail. :roll-laugh2:
Had to laugh when I read this because I'm the organist at my church so when I go down to Communion the entire men's choir, which consits of many young college men, are on my right and left. I'm actually pretty good friends with some of them I just don't know if any of them are future husband material.

I find it somewhat ironic how traditional Catholics like us (referring to traditional Catholics attending secular universities) always complain that there are no traditional Catholics at secular universities

It was many years ago that I attended college.

Even Bishop Williamson says that highly intelligent young men should attend college. I was certainly destined for college as it was the only thing I'd prepared for. But I should have left high school at age 17, and continued to work as I was at the time.

Going to college because "it's the thing to do" is a very bad idea.

Objectively speaking, if Catholics really have the values they say they do, only a small minority would attend college, especially only a small minority of young women.

I agree with this sentiment.

@ Philomene-Marie,

Depending on your level, you could even audition at a university and they might give you a scholarship even if you don't study music.

Before you said you didn't believe any of them were interested. Now you say it's because you don't know if they are "husband material."

I don't mean to pick on you, but it seems clear to me that college for women is primarily about men.

For men it may be about women indirectly. In that they have to develop a career to get a wife. Women however, don't have to have a career to get a husband. Rather they wish to be around men of higher status, which is the main reason they pursue careers.

Have you thought of culinary school? This is a good thing, because then you can not only learn how to cook delicious meals, and get into a nice restaurant and cook if you don't get married right away, but you can learn how to cook delicious meals and prepare for when you have to cook for your own family. My eldest is 14, and that's what she wants to do once she gets to be old enough to leave home (which she likely won't do.) She'll stay here and attend culinary classes and then either work, or have a prospect by the time she's of age. There are plenty of available traditional men up in this neck of the woods.
