Thats what i was saying, we already established that the Chandlers weren't going to leave rural VA, so a CADD degree was rather useless. Honestly some sort of basic computer science degree might have been more up Chris' alley, if he could find someone to basically be the middleman he could have made money creating some websites for small businesses.
Its more like people are saying Bob's old fashioned and probably assumed the job market was like it was when he retired, im sure in his last days at GE they were constantly talking about it so he assumed it was essentially the contra code to easy success in life. The information is probably lost now but i would be very surprised if he had any relationships beyond his first wife and barb. Meaning he didnt lose his virginity until 29. Also just a shot in the dark but i would have to think the reason for the divorce was his wife cheating instead of him, which would line up with Chris wanting a boyfriend-free girl specifically. Im almost sure there wasnt no fault divorce when bob got his in 1980. Im surprised no one bothered trying to get those records or the ones for Barb's divorces those are always great for drama.
Personally i feel like if Bob was such a ladies man instead of a Chris-esque desperate simp, he wouldnt have continued fucking Barb, and im sure if Chris was a "near-immaculate conception"* we would have heard about it by now. So essentially Bob found a fat bitch that looks similar to Chris now and just kept fucking her and they moved in together and got married. And just because he and her might go to the same bar, that doesnt mean he would be forced to continue seeing her. Any person with intelligence knows that wouldnt matter.
