Hi Wangchen,

I agree there should be a check on Date of birth field to make sure that
the date is not in the future. I'll add a patch for that.

But for the start / end dates under employment/education they are not
true date fields but text tields as (unlike with ones date of birth)
people forget when exactly things happened in their lives.

So putting in 'fall semester 1995' as a start date and  'graduated
spring 1997' as an end date for one's university education would be
perfectly valid but extremely hard to validate.

Cheers

Robert
