You're rigth, Wts always told us not to go for higher edu. But if so, then please choose something "value-free" such as Engg. or informatics and the like (whilst law, philosophy. literature. psychology etc. would bring the young zombie inevitably into conflicts and might help him to THINK INDEPENDENTLY, the greatest sin of all times, isn't it, freedom would lurk at the end of the tunnel).
So JWs have a lot of their youngsters' intelliogence channelled in non-binding, non-committing areas such as IT and the like, I myself became an engg. but one day fell victim to the sin of asking questions and thinking myself and found out the emperor is naked ...
BTW : the muslim fanatics who had attacked and
killed tourists in Luxor/Egypt one or two years ago where all students from a nearby uni, most of them engrs., some meds. Unfortunately engrs, are perfect soultion-finders, but not responsible for making the essential decisions themselves
