A Ph.D at the age of 91

The story of a scholar, at 91:
"The Italian immigrant has been awarded a PhD in Spanish literature — at the age of 91. His dissertation — written in Spanish — explored the work of the "esoteric theorist" Spanish writer Carmen Martin Gaite, and her experiments with the art of storytelling."
With longer working lives, I hope that there will be less emphasis on training from cradle to get in to the work force and more emphasis for a broader and longer education.
