It depends what stage of the dating game OP is getting stuck at I'd think. Getting first or even second dates I could see an art degree making a difference for a plumber. Because it would give him something else to lead with conversationally and it would make him stand out a bit more on the swiping apps.

I'm sure some of the issue is people consciously looking down on plumbers unfortunately, and yeah a degree doesn't change anything for a woman that just would not marry a plumber. But I also bet a part of it is semi or even subconscious. You're often filtering through 100+ profiles to decide who to give a chance. One of the things you glance at is what they list in the education section.

Could be an interesting experiment with fake Tinder profiles honestly.
