<human>: I (23M) have been dating this girl (20F) for 6 months now. We are extremely happy together, I drive up to see her on campus quite often, we have a very balanced and caring relationship. Her parents immigrated from China, and still seem to hold onto strict ideals. Because I only have a two year degree, and a retail manager job, they won't let her date me (or anyone else in my opinion). They have also never met me. 

Summer is coming up and she will be coming home to her parent's, so we won't be able to see each other at all. I told her to confront her mom but she said she is very stubborn about this. It is to the point to where her mother has threatened to move her to a closer school, and pulling guilt trips such as, you pick him or me. I treat her very well and do well for myself, I just feel helpless as at this point it is in my girlfriend's hands and I can't do a thing. 

Her parents are very important to her, so this has been extremely tough, especially since she is a grown woman now. There is no reason she can't have her family and myself, I just don't know what do to (or advice to tell her what to do) at this point.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: my girlfriend's mother won't let her date me because I have a 2-year degree, although she has never met me. Looking for advice for my girlfriend or myself.
