    As many of you are aware being brought up in the Organisation, there was a general directive from the WT that secular education was good, but not encouraged as far as University and further education was concerned.

    Many witnesses left school in the 70s with no formal qualifications. My question therefore is 2 fold.

    1. What would you have liked to become as far as your career is concerned?

    2. What do you now do for a living?

    I did go to university and several other JWs in the congo also went and there was no animosity towards us, that was a congo that appreciated university education.

    I studied biochemistry.

    I've always loved history and would have loved to have become an archeologist. Perhaps I may still pursue that once my children are a little older. If I had ever believed I could have done anything with my life, I'd probably be digging in the dirt somewhere in Greece or Egypt right now.

    Now I do freelance website design and Virtual Assistant work. It's a great thing to be able to work your own schedule when you have little ones!

    I started encouraging my girls to go to University the moment they could understand what I was saying. We have college funds set up and everything. They know already that they can be whatever they want to be and we will help them every step of the way.

    Is this what you would be doing if you could do anything you want?
