Going to college is a no-brainer for those who can afford it, but higher education actually tends to speed up mental decline when it comes to fumbling for words later in life.
Participants in a new study, all more than 70 years old, were tested up to four times between 1993 and 2000 on their ability to recall 10 common words read aloud to them. Those with more education were found to have a steeper decline over the years in their ability to remember the list, according to a new study detailed in the current issue of the journal Research on Aging.
See kids it isn't the peyote that you inhaled during college, it's college that is making you dumber!
And this is why I dropped out. I was trying to preserve my brain cells.
It is just too bad that all of that peyote I ingested stomped the crap out of them.
