I'm the least educated with an undergrad.

Everyone else has at least a masters.

My mother and sister have doctorates.

I am the only one in my family with a degree, but they are all way smarter than I.

When I'm finished with masters I'll be tied with mom and both sisters.

Brother and dad are attorneys so I guess that's ahead of us.

Technically I'm least educated until I finish MBA.


ETA:

My wife has bachelor and RN so I think MBA trumps her, but not sure.

2 degrees

No one else graduated college (except my wife)

Obviously, I'm the smartest and bestest. ...

But really I'm extremely grateful to my parents for working hard to put me through for my first degree and giving me the mental fortitude to do what I wanted with it.

Everyone in my immediate family has a bachelor's degree, and my mom and brother both have master's degrees.

Although, I was in a much harder field than anyone but my dad.

All relatively the same other than my mother who got her masters.
I still like an observation my dad made once me and my brothers had all graduated. We were sitting around the patio after my brother graduated, and my dad made the comment that, "I send all three of you boys off to college and all any of you have to show for it is some B.S." :rimshot:

Mom - Didn't get past the 7th grade
Dad - Didn't get past the 7th grade
Brother - Cum Laude undergrad and Masters
Me - Bachelors


My brother and I were the first two people to go to, much less graduate, college in our entire family, from my grandparents down (13 aunts/uncles on one side, 8 on the other).


End of the day, my dad would be the smartest, by far.

I'm the first in the immediate family to go to college. On paper I'm smarter than them, but their wisdom and life lessons far outweigh my book smarts.

I have the most and highest degrees.

Whether that makes me the smartest is a matter of debate.
