Extra-Marital Sex More Likely in Graduate Degree Holders

Forbes Magazine printed a few opinion pieces about the recent findings in several social science journals that two career couprles run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage. Not surprising considering how stressful it can be to juggle life, family, and career. Evidently male breadwinner marriages are most stable. I was surprised by these factoids however:

According to a wide-ranging review of the published literature, highly educated people are more likely to have had extra-marital sex (those with graduate degrees are 1.75 more likely to have cheated than those with high school diplomas.) Additionally, individuals who earn more than $30,000 a year are more likely to cheat.
