    I'm new here to the forum, but I believe the education rate is low. It was drilled into us at a very young age to put Kingdom interests first, hence no higher education. Which sucks now.

    At 6% and 3%, JWs have the lowest rate of college grads or advanced degree grads of ANY religion in the US.

    That is a sad, sad, sad statistic.

    Several years back when there was an air of "lightening up" on college education, a number of young local brothers took advantage and got degrees, some while serving as MS or elder. Despite the reassurances at last year's DC that most college graduates are unemployed, all these brothers got good jobs. Of course, they eventually resigned their MS and elder positions as well... seems education somehow made them smarter!

    Dumbass that I was, I only got my Associate's, and now I'm back in school.
