"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."--Mark Twain

This was much of my experience. Out to college, home working summers, starting at 18. Then for good at 24.
