[fuckstick]

My dad didn't even finish high school due to Bell's Palsy.

Mom turned down a full ride to Pepperdine to get married. She took some college classes over the years, but no degree.

[Sloane]

Yup. Education was a huge priority, growing up it was always *when* not *if* I went to university.

[limey]

Yes, both have doctoral degrees.

My family too. We did not have a choice about going to college. Our only choice was where we went.

Is somebody cross-checking with the parenting age thread?

[wkatie]

Mom, bachelors. Dad a little, didn't finish.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

My dad did four years in the Marines then got his bachelors using his GI bill. My mom went to college, but didn't finish after she married my dad.

[mkesweetie]

No, neither. They got married at 18/19 and had all of their children by 23/24.

[sake]

No, just high school diplomas. My dad was in the army, went to vietnam, and then worked in a factory. My mom was a legal secretary.
Eta: my parents got married when they were 30, had me at 36. But this is my dad's second marriage, he got married young like 22 ish and had my sister at 24

[Deleted]

Yes. Both have masters.

[bunnychii]

No. Mom has high school, Dad has a GED.

[Deleted]

Yes, they now both have their Master's.

My mom graduated w her BS "on time." My dad dropped out after one year, married my mom, and went back to school for his BFA after my sister was born. My mom got her MS when I was 7. My dad graduated w his MFA in 2010.

I'm really proud of their continual drive to further educate themselves

[berbles]

Mom has a PhD and a JD

Dad has a HS diploma, I think. Maybe a GED.

[leeann]

No, neither of them do. They were 16 and 18 when I was born and neither went on to college.

[fbf2006]

Yes, they both have their masters.

[papie]

No, both my parents have only their elementary school. They both stopped school in 7th grade, my mom because she hated it, my dad because his dad didn't want him to go and got him a job. My dad then started going to school at night, and when his dad found out, he got him a second job. My grandpa was an ass, and times were tough in Greece in the 50s.

[gozf]

Mom has a BA.

Dad is a dissertation away from his ph.d., but decided he'd rather watch me grow up than write a paper. He also never wanted to go into private practice, so it wasn't necessary.
