it's part of their culture to encourage the boys to get a good education in a field that pays lots of money so that they can support a large family and a stay at home wife.

My brother had a mormon girlfriend for awhile. They broke up specifically because my brother wasn't mormon even though they liked him because he had a high paying job and a engineering degree. Before they broke up I learned a lot about mormonism. Basically, for guys, it doesn't matter what you really like, it's your godly duty to make a good living. And once women are married, it doesn't matter how much education you have, or if you even WANT kids, you are expected to quit your job and pop out babies. Period.
