"The reason overeducated people may have an increased risk of mental distress could be because, by definition, they are not challenged by their jobs, and cannot use all of the skills they acquired during their education, said study researcher Piet Bracke, a professor of sociology at Ghent University in Belgium."
Which seems likely, and perhaps exacerbated by having to struggle to pay student loans while still living with your parents and working at Walmart when you are 40...
