<human>: My parents have always wanted me to date someone with a college degree. I met a guy and we're really hitting it off but he's basically the opposite of what they want; he has never been to college, opting for a career in trades instead.

I've been seeing him for a few months now. My parents found out about him and they're curious about what he does. I've been able to avoid the question but I probably won't be able to much longer. They can get pretty unreasonable (just finding out he was a different race was enough for them to call him a waste of time) so obviously I'm a little nervous about telling them anything else that they won't like about him. So basically I just need some advice on how to break it to them that he's not college educated without them thinking that he's a total deadbeat or sparking a huge argument over it.

Thanks!

Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?
