graduating married

Post by Portia »

Would this take into account those who get married at BYU and drop out? Is that becoming more, or less, common than it was previously, especially for women, I suppose?

I am one of the very few people I know who dropped out of BYU and I'm not married. (I did go back. :) ) It seems like with the rise of assortative mating, that the men of BYU would not be fans of having a big educational attainment gap; I've always suspected this was a large source of the generational friction one sees on the question.

I dropped out of BYU. (Perhaps it's not as unusual as you think. ;) )

Me too. Well, from grad school.

A grad degree is kind of dumb for my field. I only went because it was when the economy was at its worst and I couldn't find a decent(paying)/relevant job. You could say I wasn't really committed. So, once things improved and I got offered my dream job, I said so long to byu and to academic servitude.

I'm a statistic. But I'd rather have the job.
