Jana Duggar Ready to Leave Home, Go to College, Source Says

Jana Duggar, one of the members of the Duggar family from TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," is reportedly planning to leave the reality show in the coming months to attend college, a source claims.

A source recently told OK Magazine that Jana, the eldest Duggar daughter at age 25, is preparing to leave her parents' home in Arkansas and attend a Christian college. Two of Jana's younger sisters, Jill and Jessa, recently married and moved out of the home.

"Jana just turned 25, so she knows she needs to get on with her education if she doesn't want to be stuck at her mom and dad's house in Arkansas forever," the source told OK! magazine. "She told her parents that she was looking at Christian colleges and would be applying soon."

The source added to the magazine that Jana has long been the babysitter to many of the younger children in the family brood, but she is ready to leave home and pursue her higher education.

As The Inquisitr reports, Jana opened up about what she enjoys to do in the book "The Duggars: 20 and Counting!"

"I love working with children and I especially love being around new babies, You might think I get plenty of that as being part of this big family. But I also volunteer at a children's shelter to help entertain and visit with the little ones there. I have lots of other interests too, including sewing, cooking and playing the piano, violin and harp. I enjoy decorating and helping plan parties and political-campaign events. I love being the big sister to a houseful of siblings," Jana wrote in the book.
