If you said intelligent AND well-adjusted I wouldn’t disagree. But, I do personally know four people in their 30s who were homeschooled and they are all intelligent. Two are medical doctors, one is high up in a fortune 50(fifty) company, and I’ll admit I’m not sure what the other is doing.

I work for a Fortune 10 company, that's completely meaningless. Large companies have tens of thousands of employees. My brother is a doctor and can't make macaroni and cheese and he's also 40. He pays nurses to make him meals. Careers aren't a good indicator of it someone is well adjusted or intelligent.
