Did you graduate from the university?

How much importance does your family place on education? For my family, it's a must to graduate from the university. It's not a matter of choice but mandatory. After your graduation, you can decide what you want to do with your life.

Did you attend and graduate from the university?

Yes, but I've stopped believing that university is the only path to success. I know graduates still searching for opportunities and I know people without degrees doing very well for themselves. The world has changed. Skills now matter a lot more than before. University can still open doors to many opportunities and teach discipline. The mistake some families make is treating it like a magic ticket to success.

I went to college for web design and animation, but I didn't graduate and ended up dropping out during my second year. A big reason was that I already knew much of the material being taught, and I felt my long-term goal was different from the typical career path the program was preparing students for. Rather than working for a company, my ambition was always to build and run my own website and create something of my own.

Yes, I went to college for four years and graduated with an undergraduate degree.

Education is very important in my family. My mother didn't go to college but my father has a masters' degree. Except one, among 4 kids, everyone has a masters' degree. In our family education isn't just something to secure a job, it is also knowledge.
