Hi all,
 
One of the independent variables in my logistic regression is "education of mother" which is ordinal with values 1 to 4 (1 being elementary and 4 being postgraduate).  Can I consider it as continuous rather than categorical so that my interpretation of the exp(B) for example would be the log odds for Y=1 (my dependent) is higher when the mother has more eduation?
