A self-report measure by the Pew Research Center revealed that LGBT persons tend to be more education than the overall US population. The most educated were gay men, 40% of whom earned a bachelor's degree. Bisexual men and women had the lowest rate of bachelor's degree attainment, at just under a quarter. However, it seems that many bisexual men and women start college, but do not earn a bachelor's degree (41%).
