Something interesting that I realized in your post was how there can be different educations that create educated people, but there is no certain "look" of what that is. Employers can decide who is educated as you said, but if I interviewed at a chemical plant, they would think I was just stupid by how little I know. However someone who has received an education in chemistry, might not be able to know about something I do. Employers is such a wide group of people, so there is many different trades and skills someone can have to be considered educated. I guess that's kind of obvious, but I hadn't realized that haha.
