The news reported today "those with more than 12 years of education -- more than a high school diploma -- can expect to live to 82; for those with 12 or fewer years of education, life expectancy is 75."
I'm worried about this. I'm not sure I want to be 82! I wonder if it's possible that after 20 years of education, the opposite is true. If that's the case then I'll be okay. You figure I did my 12 years of HS education. Then I did 5 years of undergraduate. Now I'm moving on to at least 2 years of graduate...so that's 19 if I finish on time. Ha! What's the point of living to be 82 if you spend 25% of your life in school?
