The Duggar family has been going through a lot of changes over the last few years, especially where Jinger Duggar is concerned. After walking away from her family's restrictive cult-like religion, the Institute in Basic Life Principles, Jinger is now doing a lot of things that she was forbidden to before — but will pursuing an education outside the home be one of them? In an Instagram Q&A, Jinger revealed whether she'll go back to school when her daughters are older. At this point, the world really is her oyster.

Jinger opened up while chatting with her Instagram followers.
In a Q&A she shared in since-expired Instagram Stories posts that were captured by In Touch Weekly, Jinger responded to a fan's question asking if she'd consider "higher education or employment" when her daughters Felicity and Evangeline Jo are older.
Jinger replied, "Hmm great question! Haven't given that too much thought. I am all about learning new things. We'll see!"
Jinger keeps herself pretty busy these days.
Although she doesn't have an official job outside of the home and likely considers herself a stay-at-home mom these days, Jinger is more of a working mom than her mom Michelle was. She writes books, she attends speaking engagements, and she makes money on social media — she's a busy lady with a career all on her own.
When it comes to education, Jinger has already gone against the grain.
Even though Jinger and her siblings were all homeschooled, so far, Jinger has chosen to do things a little differently for her own kids. As she shared in November 2023, 5-year-old Felicity is in "Christian hybrid school," which sounds like a combination of homeschooling and in-person learning.

Jinger's not the only one who has chosen not to go all-in on homeschooling.
Her sister, Jill, who has also been vocal about walking away from the IBLP, has said she enrolled her oldest son, Israel, in public school, too. Although fans have asked her similar questions about whether she wants to pursue education or a career when her boys are older, Jill hasn't made any decisions yet, either.
Who knows what the future holds?
Jinger can do whatever she wants, even while her kiddos are still young — and from what we know about her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, it seems she'd have plenty of support along the way.
Without the IBLP holding her back, Jinger can do whatever she wants to do, and that kind of freedom must feel so good.
