This is why people send their kids to Christian college. The boys get their degrees in whatever, and the girls can do the teacher/nurse/marriage. They get to choose from another Christian from a “good family”
- magicroot75 6y agoThe old "MRS" degree
- smeej 6y agoHuh. Here I'd been thinking my classmates were there for the same reasons I was: The high-caliber education, top-tier faculty, abundant connections to other local schools (Boston area), and not just toleration of but encouragement toward my own spiritual and religious explorations at that stage in my life. A handful of my best friends even became Catholic priests, so I guess if their parents sent them there to marry, it didn't work out very well.

Assuming the parents are authentic Catholics, they would send them there to find their vocation, whether that is marriage or holy orders. Seen through that lens, it worked out very well indeed.
- smeej 6y agoSure. My point was just counter- the dismissive parent post that treated Christian schools like a marriage market.
- bregma 6y agoWell, they ended up married to Jesus.
- smeej 6y agoMarried to the Church, in Catholic theology, but yes ;)

- yosito 6y agoIn the Christian circles I grew up in, women used to say they were in college to get their MRS degree.
- silversides 6y agoSame exact saying in the Jewish circles I grew up in :)
- MeinBlutIstBlau 6y agoAs a return college student, my college is just filled with women who are at college to rack up absurd amounts of debt for worthless fields making subpar art or papers. Also the typical trip to europe that costs 3x the amount it does if you did it yourself.
