My parents are exactly like that. It's a little bit different however because they started dating when they were 14 or 15. Regardless, my mother is the lead accountant for a non profit organization in the lower east side of Manhattan (includes running a small credit union, meetings with people like Hilary Clinton to discuss the well being of the community etc) and my father is a musician who gigs and does private events on the weekends and works as a handyman (includes taking the trash out, fixing people's shit in the apartments etc) in a building in queens during the week. My mother has her college degree and my father an honorary docturate for his contributions in music to colombia (he only got that over the summer) but he still kept his old job at the building and my parents made it work. Even though my mother does have more 'legitimate' education my father is by far more well read and well versed than she is. And growing up in this makes the 'new odd couple' not so odd for me. haha.
