And generally speaking, people with those attributes tend to hold down decent jobs, but it was more an attributes thing I was looking at.

Same here. As long as she is financially independent and knows how to live within her means....I'm okay.
My wife has a higher education than I do, but I make 5X the amount she does annually. But she had her own place and paid her own bills before we met.
Some jobs such as hers are focused on public service and helping others.....and public servants don't make anything close to what they deserve to make.
