I'm not sure his age is actually 22, I thought it was either 23 or 24. Obviously you're right. On the other hand it is possible to speed the original curriculum up, and do undergrad in 3 years and master's in 2 for instance. Or less. I started teaching in college at 21.

This might especially be the case if you're having financial difficulties and forced to forsake the whole college experience to get through before your funds run out. I'd assume Ezra, having disowned his family, would've been left with pretty much nothing and having to fight for himself. That's motivation to speed through.
