I can't believe they continue to rant about higher education. It is a must if you want to live in this world. I still see many jw youths going to university, not just for 2 years, but even getting their masters and doctor's degrees. Good for them!
To stifle natural talent and the desire to learn and excel in your chosen field is cruel. I hope they keep on ignoring the advice.
Oh, and I forgot the name of the poster above who said it was too late to go back to school. It is never too late and especially not in your 20's. Even if you have to take a couple classes at a time, it will pay off in the long run.
I returned to college in my 30's and have never regretted it. Having a good education has made a huge difference in my life. Never say never!
