I don't think you can ever be overly educated. If it turns one into a snobbish elitist then that's a separate character trait.

There is always more to learn, and no education is wasted or too much.

Some people do let their academic qualifications substitute for wisdom, judgment, or just horse-sense. This is often to their detriment.

Some people on the other side of the educational divide suffer from a condition commonly referred to as 'sour grapes'.
