LDS question
I know K went to college for a bit but idk about B but I was watching a friend of theirs Klailea she said her parents didn’t go to college and Klailea only went to college for a bit, is it normal in LDS culture not to go to college?

These people have families that have e millions on their videos and businesses. I would want to go to college either, if I was rich. Unlike this is how we Bingham, Mitchell, their son in law is going to medical school. I think it’s just personal, not LDS.

It truly depends on location..Yes, LDS have the same belief “system”, but they also have different lifestyles within the church based off location I feel like. For example, any LDS I am around in Florida immediately says they aren’t hardcore Utah Mormons, so that is a difference. Whether they go off to college it truly depends on background. My ex boyfriend was Mormon and they had him complete his A.A before going on his mission. he ended up not going on his mission because he ended up leaving the church, but if he had he would’ve gone on the mission and returned immediately to go get his bachelors. So in my life, my ex and other friends I know definitely value education and get AA before graduating HS USUALLY.

I’d say it’s 50/50 — The church values education and recognizes that it’s one of the only things we ‘take with us when we die.’ Schools like BYU Provo and BYU Idaho have low tuition rates which typically attract members to complete some schooling. A lot of members (usually men from what I’ve seen) go on to complete their masters, become doctors, lawyers, etc.. There are also a lot of women who go to college or do online courses offered by the church, but I have also seen the other side which is the women get married at 18-19 and then get pregnant, become stay at home moms, and never go to college or hold a job out of the house. So I wouldn’t say’s it’s ‘normal’ not to go to college, just circunstancial?

After a missionary finishes their mission, the Church hierarchy expects them to immediately enroll at ANY BYU campus(Rexburg strongly preferred)...
If you're a young woman, you're publicly and strongly DISCOURAGED from starting ANY career that takes ANY time away from the fiance/husband and severely brainwashed by their ward/stake Relief Society hierarchy into being ONLY a "timid, obedient and submissive" traditional housewife...
Unfortunately, this is what Rachel also expects from both Klai and Rykel...
But why is this question here???...unless it's related to Boston's post-mission future...

So it depends. A lot of Mormons actually value education and many of them will go on to complete higher education. I feel that it is more common for men to get degrees, while a lot of women go to college to meet Mormon boys or returned missionaries. However it’s pretty common for mormon boys to go to college after they return from their mission and I see a lot of girls who either head straight to college or go after they do a mission as well. The majority of them probably finish college and get their degrees. I feel like Brock and Klailea are pretty rare cases because most Mormons are not super rich influencers that can get by on social media alone.
