[Ti] H. Arp quote

[Pedro Vera]

Actually I know quite a few over educated individuals, very smart 
people but totally disconnected with reality. I notice it is usually 
worse with people that studied all the way to a PhD without spending 
time working in their respective fields. Those that worked a little bit 
between the degrees are usually a little bit more grounded.

This is all of course relative, but even here at the office, out of the 
3 PhDs on staff it is very easy to spot which of the three worked 
between degrees and which ones studied all the way thru before getting 
a job (and no, this has nothing to do with intelligence, all three are 
incredibly bright). Also, I am not equating a PhD with being 
overeducated.
