Master degree in Motherhood. However, I have found that the degree doesn't apply to real life situations most of the time.
Also, A PHd in the University of Hard Knocks.
Seriously,my father, for the most part, thought higher education was a waste of time. I remember constant verbal jabs against "educated idiots" growing up. As a result, only an average student, I barely made it through high school.
Who knows, maybe someday I will go back. I have my kids to raise first.

I left the society in 1990 at the age of 40.
Since then I have completed a BA in Theology and Religious Studies and Hebrew.
A Masters in Patristics.
A Post Graduate Certificate in Religious Education for teaching
and am a PhD candidate.
My son is in his first yr of a Bsc and one of my daighters is in her 2nd yr of her BA.
My wife [before she passed away] was in her 2nd yr of her BA in Humanities.
Not bad for a family is it? If we can do it, then others can and should. There are many out there with a brain who have been led to believe that they cannot do it.
BS in Business Management
One year of law school-Certified Paralegal
Have you noticed something about these responses? Imagine if you
asked this question in your local congregation.
In my life, I have been in 10 congregations. In those congs, there were
only 2 people who had degrees. Of all the JW's I know (probably a thousand
or two), there are only 3 with degrees.
On this board, there are already a couple dozen who have spoken up. What
conclusion does this lead to about the average JW, and the average apostate?
I was born ignorant and I’ve been losing ground ever since.

This thread is very interesting...I am clearly inferior to all of you (managed to graduated my sophomore year.)
Please think for me...I need the help!!

Always stroking the cat the wrong way!!! But we will see the intelligence and discernment from the responses...I just know it ;)
Lauralisa,
Way cool!!! When did you attend USF and are you still in the area?
Yeah, I love the campus; it's beautiful, altho I haven't walked so much in years! And geez, was it intimidating when I first started a few months ago but now I love it. Eating my lunch on the grass outside Cooper Hall...altho there are some squirrels that are just too darn friendly for my comfort! lololol

I graduated from college at age 37 with a degree in French language and literature. I tried teaching high school, but that was not for me. I have been a medical office manager, a legal secretary, a legal office manager, a medical transcriber and had a plethora of low-paying jobs in between.
I took one graduate level course in literary criticism. I have taken night classes in court reporting (I am proficient in Gregg shorthand, too). My next goal is to obtain a master's degree in library science.
I agree with Cygnus that education is not the path to wealth as Robert Kiyosaki so eloquently points out in his "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series. However, education has enhanced my life in many ways and I would not be without it just for the sake of wealth.
