So by their criteria, if a black woman gets a gender studies degree and can't get a job she's more educated than a white male HS graduate who makes $80k as a welder?
Well yeah, she is still more educated than the welder since she has more advanced degrees than he does. The welder is definitely more financially successful though.

So basically it's a statistic that means nothing, right? She has very little or no ability to earn despite the fact that she's 'educated about genders.

A diploma doesn't mean you've gotten an education. A lot of these graduates come out of college dumber than when they entered.

Being more educated just means that one has spent more time in some type of academia regardless if it was meaningless pyshobabble like gender studies. Sometimes it really means something if one earns a degree in engineering or an advanced degree in certain segments of a business school.
Spending a few years after HS extending ones time spent in an academic setting is not an indication of intelligence. The welder in this case could very well be far more intelligent despite not having extended his/her time in an academic setting beyond HS.

She would have more formal education. That doesn't equate to a person being more educated. The welder is probably more educated in metalurgy, physics, geometry, electrical systems, etc. Also better educated in basic mathematics since he/she figured out a much needed trade skill can provide more income than a Bachelors in almost any non-STEM field and a fair number of STEM fields too.

Proof that the term "educated" is no longer meaningful in today's "pick a bull shite degree" environment
Frankly. I don't think I've ever met a sociology major I would describe as "educated"
It's to the point where the more appropriate descriptor is to simply say "degreed"
Accurate yet not dishonest
