It's good you know what you want/is important to you however.

It's not a 100% pre-requisite. I'm not one of those people that
require college education either.
I just would like someone who's got a stable, ~30-40 normal hour gig
or is at least on a path to that in the next few years (finishing school or unemployed & looking is fine too... we've all been there).
What doesn't work is what I ran into with my last relationship, where the girl I was dating wasn't on any sort of direction in life. She worked in the service industry (mainly fast food) and kept losing jobs over-and-over-and-over again.
She had a good inclination and knack for interior design, and I was encouraging her to simply consider perusing that, but was really just iffy about college or post-high school education. We broke up for a number of reasons, but her lack of motivation didn't help.
This goes back to wanting to live my life with the person I love. To have somewhat similar hours, and to be able to take the time off to travel together which is something I
really want to do in the coming years. I mean, I do it now (mainly annual family vacations) and while I always have fun, it sucks seeing everyone else have their significant other there to enjoy the experience together.

I really hope your luck changes (and I hear a lot that guys in particular can really come into their own from middle age onwards), but in the meantime try not to despair, you have written on another post about having friendships and that is a great part of a full life.

It's not so much that I was a late bloomer (I was
a bit, and my career path has been a frustrating, slow-going ascent), but more that my prime got caught up in that garbage (and completely avoidable) recession that the inept powers-that-be cast us into from 2008 - 2014 or so.
