TLDR
This paper found evidence that people with higher education are more likely to be happier, on average, than their less educated counterparts starting in their early to mid-30s, and they also found that the extent to which education makes an individual happy depends on their current age.Abstract:
Recent research has documented a negative relationship between education and happiness. We test the hypothesis that the extent to which education makes an individual happy depends on their current age in life. We find suggestive evidence that people with higher education are more likely to be happier, on average, than their less educated counterparts starting in their early to mid-30s.read more
