How many vegans on here with a degree or other form of higher education?

I just want to dispell the myth that vegans have something wrong with their brains because of what they eat!

I technically hold two science degrees (one in biology, the other in nutriton). I think it's funny when people with no knowledge of nutrition try to tell me that my diet is lacking!

I have a degree, a masters degree and PhD and I am a Lecturer in Psychology. There are a large number of vegetarians among the academic staff of the university where I work.

You'll find that people who think logically about their behaviour are less likely to justify the unnecessary torture and killing of other sentient beings for food.

OK.........vegetarians & vegans are more brainy..........we all know that! Nick C has a degree in being a retard.

Well I'm not a vegan, just a vegetarian, but I have a degree and a decent job, as do all the other veggies I know.

Ok, I'm not a vegan but I'm a vegetarian. And I have a Bachelor of Science degree. So there!

Here's an interesting article for you.

I haven't figured out yet though whether people are vegans because they're intelligent or they're intelligent because they're vegans.

Check out the article and you decide!

Being a vegan in this day and age is a serious bonus however since there's an excess of antibiotics, hormones and even disease in the meat sold today.

Not a vegan, but a vegetarian (lacto-ovo).
Quit eating animals while working on my second degree...
Currently holding a well paying job for over a decade...

Continue to learn something new everyday... not saying I'm better than anyone, but I keep my mind as open as possible to receive any information helpful to me, my family & friends, my community, country and the planet as a whole.

Noticed the older I get how little I know... but I try.
All the veg folks I know seem to be very intelligent with good habits.
Does that answer your question alright?

I'm 19 and working on getting my degree. I'm currently a sophmore in college and have not yet decided on a major. Possibly english with a minor in creative writing. (I'm vegan)

I don't know if this counts but I was a vegetarian for 7 years and in that time frame I obtained my Associates Degree in Business and have a very nice career now, however I went back to eating meat beause I was bored with the food. (at the time, there were not as many choices, I may go back to being vegetarian now that there are many more choiecs for me.) I'm planning on going back to school to get a Bachlor's Degree and just continue with my education. I love to learn!

Well, I currently hold a degree in Massage Therapy but I'm going back to school to get a doctorate in a Chiropractic-like discipline called Naprapathy, and I'm a Vegan! 6 more years of school here I come!

Edit: Wow this is really interesting. Good question!

It is MORE likely a Vegan will have an higher education than average.

This is not just because of thier diet, its a self-selecting stastistic. The fact that they have thought about thier diet at all puts them higher than average.

personally, I've never met a dumb vegan and we run a veggie and vegan B&B so see about 1,000 of the little blighters each year.

God luck to them !

If Darwin has any truth in his theories, then one day veggies and vegans will rule the world, the rest will die out.

*oink* that's not fair, I'm still a highschool student. But i'm planning on getting a degree in mathmatics

Hi I am in my final year at Uni and I am doing a BSc in Archaeology next year I am doing a Masters and then onto do a PhD and I am a Vegan....I am getting 1st's at the moment aswell :)

well im not vegan but vegetarian,im 28,spent over ten years at university,have 3 degrees and a decent career !

I was a vegan for 17 years. I also have a master's degree and I am in the process of applying for doctoral programs.

They just did a study here in Canada and found most vegetarians have a degree or have some type of higher education, I have 3 degrees and have my chef's papers, along with a degree in Computers.

I cannot say I am a vegetarian, but do enjoy eating a vegetarian meal 2 times a week, mostly Indian, Chinese or Mexican, beans, lentils and legumes along with a variety of vegetables, no meat.

Mostly I try not to eat anything to far out, but have a number of total vegetarian and vegan friends.

I'm virtually a vegan (just need to cut out honey and start an animal free life which I plan to do next year) and I have a degree in English.

im a vegetarian since birth. am in Uni now- Sociology major. okie since u r talking abt "vegans"- i gotta tell ya im not one. if u don't consume dairy products like milk butter cheese yoghurt etc, where r u getting ur calcium frm? do u fracture ur bones easily? are ur teeth well- formed? btw, honestly, i dont think there's a relationship between being a degree holder n a vegan/vegetarian or non-vegetarian... anw, gud gng! u got sooo many answers here...

I bet less than 1% of the population are vegans with an education

Edit
Why all the thumbs down? Less than 1% of the population are vagans, therefore less than 1% of the population are vegan and educated. I'm not having a go at vegans, just showing you the maths

no its common knowledge vegans are retards

You notice the vegans that do have an education are career students. Because they can't hold a job, because they are social retards, and too busy judging others and peddling their cabbage head ideals to get any work done.

Degree in Massage Therapy? You can get a degree for learning how to rub someones back. HAHAHA
Whores in Tailand all have degrees in massage therapy too. Hahahaha

Your livescience site, is a theory, of an experiment in an uncontrolled environment. How many other outside influences were attributed their way of life at 30, that were not factored into the results. ie. broken home, schools, friends, social environment. etc etc etc. Rubbish research.

How many Nobel Prize winners this year, or any year, are vegans? Not many, if any!!

Puma Academy, is that your institute of higher learning? Hahahaha

Vegans and vegitarians will never rule the world, meat eaters have all the guns. Hahahahahahaha

I love it!!!!

I am a meat eater and I have not got a degree. there is nothing special in a degree , some degrees are given to a person just for attending lessons . and from my own personal experience having worked with engineers with degrees, I have only met one with any common sense. doing thing in theory, is easy but doing things in practice that is when you need your common sense . when the theory does not do what it is supposed to do .
