I haven't done online dating Starrysky (last time I was single the internet wasn't invented lol) but my sister met her partner of 8 years via that method. At the time she was unemployed having just graduated (as mature student), he had a great job - today the situation is reversed (he got redundancy from his great job, she's got ft work). The right person does not put too much store on what you do for a living in my experience - they are interested in who you are not what you do.

Good luck to you, my advice would be to keep good boundaries - don't get too invested until you really feel sure of a person, and most of all know your own worth - walk on by from any bad treatment.
