Parents want a university educated wife for me - What do i do?

Assalamualaikum,

Let me preface this question by saying I love my parents and the reason I am happy is my parents. I completed my bachelor's degree Nott op long ago and I secured a job the other day. Alhamdulillah. Talks of brides have also started for my nikah. My father is BIG on girls who have a degree and are educated due to the fact that in America women that work can also help provide money. He also says that it'll be better for my family should an educated women come into the family. Although, I agree that a woman with an education may likely be good at communication, but something does not sit right with me. I base my feelings off of the hadith I have heard repeatedly over the internet. There are four things you can marry a bride for, wealth, lineage, beauty and virtue/deen but among mumin men virtue/deen is the best. When we put and educational filter on girls it very much puts out the impression that in nikah I require a girl who would work in the future. I believe that falls in the wealth category. My primary issue is, I want a wife that has good character and prays regularly etc. I'm a Hafiz by the will of Allah. My dad will make fun of me at times when I pray a little late and tell me that I don't require a pious woman, when I know that's exactly what I want. How do I communicate to my father that virtue/deen is the most important and that's how we should filter the possible brides out with instead of asking of a degree first.

Assalamualaikum
