My dad has had tertiary education but never graduated... if my brother wasn't born it'd be different now!!
Mum is a nurse, which she'd need a qualification for, but she's been at the same hospital, same job since she was 17 I could never do that.
I don't plan on going to uni... why wasn't this an option on the poll? And also, I think you mean "neither parent", how many people have more than 2 biological parents?!!?!

Heheh. So much for your theory Doe. Both my parents never completed High School. I'm at uni, my 2 bros and my sister in law also at uni
It's just that University nowadays is more common then back in my parent's day. That's what i reckons~

Same here. My dad left school when he was 16. My mum did year 12 and then got a job in the public service. Nobody in my family has a degree. But it is likely that me and all of my siblings will get degrees.hipsta_jess said:

dad's done medicine (anaesthesia).
mum did occupational therapy ages ago, and she's almost finished a part-time fine arts degree.
i'm doing graphic design, so there's probably some influence in there...

There is actually more pressure on students whose parents have degrees. I for one can say this. My dad has an engineering degree and an MBA. Mom has a commerce degree and an MBA as well. My dad actually paid for my mom's MBA when they were dating...so you can imagine the pressure my sister and I are getting from him right now to finish a good degree.

My dad has a chemistry degree, my mum left school after yr 10. I think my dad doing a degree partly motivated me to go to uni, since he has a well paid job now
