Half My Workers Morph Into Scientists At Turn 25!

[elwood_s]

When playing Op1 v1.51 on medium difficulty level, my population declines through turn 24. At that point it consists of 20 Students, 40 Workers, and about 30 Scientists, for a total of around 70.  Come turn 25 the first round of births occurs, and suddenly I have 15 infants, 20 Students, 20 Workers, and about 50 Scientists??  :wacko:  And I haven't even started building a University yet!  

Has anyone else ever noticed this and is there any way to prevent it from happening? I've re-started the game several times and tried building different combination's of structures, but the same thing keeps happening at turn 25.

Burn all the textbooks maybe?

Thanks Spike.  :rolleyes:

Why didn't I think of that?

But seriously, anybody else ever run into this?

Hmm. So it says you have 20 students before, and then suddenly 20 workers become scientists? That kind of jumps out at me. Mind you, I've never played the game.
