Part of the job of senior devs is to mentor juniors regardless of their background. Not to gatekeep over your own degree.

There is a big difference between mentoring and dealing with a 4 year difference in education and maturity.

Maturity gap sounds more like a hiring miss on culture fit than an issue with mentoring. More of an org issue IMO. Their education level shouldn't really matter if they have a good attitude and willingness to be coached.
