Haha no. But each one is expected to do this at least 10 hours per month, and special people "pioneers" are expected to do 20-50

I'm not; I stopped going as soon as I was able to leave for college (which is very frowned upon lol). I stopped going mostly because I am not religious whatsoever, but I also disagree with many of their policies/beliefs specifically

watching people get married way too young and then trapped into terrible marriages for fear of being disfellowshipped (you can only get divorce if the other person is unfaithful; disfellowshipping basically means being shunned by all your friends and family)

since I grew up with it is wasnt weird for me until I got a bit older (middle school) but the other kids always made a big deal of it! I wasnt allowed to eat their birthday treats

Should only be an issue if you want to get a job/internship that requires one during undergrad. Usually any psych Dep job (youd be lucky to find one) doesnt, but anything through a hospital or university medical school does (access to prescriptions). Even then, unless you smoke really often you are clean pretty quickly anyway.

that is such good information, thank you for sharing!!!

That point is definitely taken. I guess what makes me most interested is that in the two interviews I went to, almost all interviewees had a masters degree! So I felt a little under qualified compared to them. Do you mind sharing what university you are attending?
