Hi, my sister is a JW and last year was her final year of secondary school (17/18 years old over here), she received the prize for best student overall in the whole school. She's always wanted to go to university and become a lawyer and now since becoming a JW has changed her mind and is working in a restaurant clearing tables. Which is a bit of a joke, because she'll end up stuck in that job for the next 30 years.
She doesnt want to go to university because "armageddon is coming soon so theres no point"
Anyway I read on a site that JWs 'strongly discouraged' tertiary education. Can someone tell me if this is actually true, what they say about it, and thoughts on why? It seems ridiculous they would discourage everyone from reaching their full academic potential.
Thanks very much.
