I know there is this stigma that women in the porn industry are not smart to the people outside of porn and that they can not achieve great things. I hate that stigma about the porn industry. So what active girls in the industry have college degrees. One that comes off the top of my head is Casey Calvert. I think she might have a master degree but I could be wrong but I know she has a degree none the less. What other girls have degrees but are still active in the porn industry one way or another.

There are probably some lists out there someplace, but off the top of my head (why I know this info, I have no idea):

Charlie Forde has a Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine and intends to continue practicing here in the US as soon as she can get approval to sit for her Board exam.

Lauren Phillips has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance degree from Rutgers.

Joanna Angel earned a BA in English Literature and minor in Film Studies from Rutgers.

Missy Woods has a BA in Psychology from one of the University of Texas campuses.

Asia Carrera was a piano prodigy and went to Rutgers on a full ride, I believe to study Japanese, but I don't think she finished, if I remember correctly.

Lisa Sparxxx has a BS and MA in Sports Marketing from Western Kentucky University.

AJ Bailey has a BA in Anthropology from the University of Missouri and an MA in Anthropology and Museum Studies from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

Annie Sprinkle has a "PhD" in Human Sexuality, but it's from a non-accredited for-profit (and also just generally weird) organization called the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality.

Vanessa Cliff supposedly has an MA in Human Rights and Nonprofit Management and a PhD in "Social Sciences," but to my knowledge she's never said from which institutions, so take the legitimacy with a grain of salt.

Mika Tan has an Associates in Psychology and BS in Biochemistry from San Diego State University.

Jen Padova has a BS in Biochemistry and BA in Visual Arts, with a minor in Philosophy, from UCLA.

Shy Luv/Love has at least a Bachelors and Masters in Accounting, and is a CPA, and claims to have another Masters, but I don't think she's ever said what it's in.

There have been quite a few nurses, unsurprisingly. Tera Patrick has her RN license and then went on to get her BS in Microbiology (I think from University of Southern California) and said she had planned to get a doctorate in it, but I haven't heard whether she ever pursued it (and also that's a very difficult and competitive program, so that seems unlikely).

Nina Hartley is also a nurse, with a BSN from San Francisco State University.

Sadie Summers is a nurse, but I'm not sure what degree or licensure.

Bree Olson did two years of pre-med Biology at Purdue. She's referenced both her inability to become a nurse, but also that she wishes she could be known as a nurse, so I'm not certain whether she has or has not completed any nursing education/licensure.

There have also been some pornstars who had degrees and careers in education, including Ron Jeremy, Audrey Hollander, Juli Ashton, and Callie Cox.

Thank You for letting me know if this. Now for me I have a nurse kink... and the ones who have degrees in nursing how many times have they played a nurse in a scene? I wonder how often does a girl who has a degree to multiple play a scene in thh job field they have their degree in.

The future will be more about learning trades and specific skills to help the community (including sexual expertise) moreso than holistic bloated programs, but yeah degrees are still great marks of perseverance and getting shit done.

Amber Stark apparently finished school recently.

Off topic, but Aria Giovanni (Retired long ago) got a Ph.D. in Entomology from UC Davis.

From my understanding Jayna Oso (also retired) got a degree in higher education from UH - Manoa.

Not that there's a lot of realism in porn anyway but you've got to wonder that if a scene has any relevance to their field of expertise whether girls have offered any advice that might add authenticity to the scene?

Of course I could be wrong- but I believe Scarlet Red (one of my all time faves) was / is a nurse - good topic

Agreed, l left school and learnt a trade when l was 15 and while it's served me very well l have the greatest of admiration for people who've persevered and spent years to get a university degree.
A friend who worked in retail for years always recounts seeing a twenty dollar note with ''l sucked a dick for this, stay at school!'' written on it.

Although once again not active:

Dora Ventner works as a nurse in the UK.

Mercedes Carrera claimed to have an engineering degree prior to joining the adult entertainment industry.

Yurizan Beltran (aka Yuri Luv - RIP) was also a nurse before she started doing porn.

Fun fact, here in Germany, you cannot get a doctor in Physical Therapy. To add, I guess, Alexis Fawx got a degree in law, maybe Adriana Chechik a kind of chemistry/biology, Casey Calvert got even 2 or 3 degrees. Actually there are some active porn stars with a degree.

Good topic.

Candee Licious is currently going for her masters degree.

Chanel Heart has a college degree

Abella Danger and Lexi Lore are seemingly inevitably going to get degrees, because they constantly talk about loving school.

I recall reading at some point that Kenzie Taylor graduated from a full 4-year college with a degree in Biology.
