Good point, and I think you can see it illustrated right here in this thread! A good 8-10% of responders picked lazy freeloader, but none of them will come and argue their position. Anyway, my own personal peanut gallery is heavily populated by people who had their first kid after 30. Generally speaking I believe that higher ages at which the first child is born correlate with higher education levels. Among the people I know, that is very very true.
