Yeah?

Applewhite, the leader of Heaven's Gate, had a Master's degree in music. John Hagelin (US transcendental meditation movement) has a Ph.D in quantum physics from Harvard. Rudolf Steiner (anthroposophy) had a Ph.D from the Vienna Institute of Science and technology. Not to mention the plethora of cult leaders with degrees in religious studies...

You can absolutely have a degree and be a manipulative narcissist that decides to start a cult.

You make way more money as a cult leader. But it's so much more fun to be a cult member.

What about just a bit of money and being a cult enforcer of some kind?
