I'm a practicing Muslim passively looking for an arranged marriage. So I'm about to graduate soon from medical school and starting to consider marriage inquiries from all sorts. I feel like I have to take them all a bit seriously as I don't want to be in a position where I turn a good partner down if one turns up - so I pretty much arrange meetings with anyone who inquires. Anyway I need some advice:
Unfortunately a lot of people's eyes light up after they hear that I'm at medical school and just want to marry a doctor for prestige/money or see it as some guarantee of trustworthiness. Or they know this before and this is the reason why they inquire. I want to hide this fact and get people to just choose me for what I am; NOT the degree.
Also, I can't guarantee I'm going to be a practicing doctor for my whole life - I love the career at the moment, but I can't rule out potentially switching career at some later stage. In fact, if I stay true to my future ambitions at the moment- I will almost certainly change career in the next 10-15 years. So in some ways I feel deceptive about saying I'm in medical school/soon to be come a doctor.
It's a bit long and dramatic to mention all these caveats especially as your just starting to get to know some one (e.g on a first meeting with parents) - I don't want to turn them off permanently before we've even started but I feel like I'm leading them on a bit to leave it at just saying them I'm a med student.
So what to do people?
