Overeducated and Immature

...according to Discovery News, the more education you have, the more likely you are to never attain mental maturity

The theory’s creator is Bruce Charlton, a professor in the School of Biology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

"When formal education continues into the early twenties," he continued, "it probably, to an extent, counteracts the attainment of psychological maturity, which would otherwise occur at about this age.”

It's worth reading, if only for the weird reference to David Brooks at the end - maturity, bla, psychology, bla bla, hippies ruined America - whaaa? Who's manning the store over there?
