overeducating
Too much instruction
Overeducating is giving someone more education than their circumstances require or can absorb.
The term often carries skepticism about whether extensive schooling always pays off: Critics argue we're overeducating young people for jobs that don't exist.
It can also suggest credentials beyond what a position demands: The company worried about overeducating employees who might leave for better opportunities.
