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.

how could she possibly not be considered more educated than a welder?

i hate how education and financial success have become conflated.

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

Can she read blueprints? Do a mathematical takeoff?

Attach the term 'educated to useless fields all you want but if you can't produce you're really no educated in the real world.

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.

That study just says that black women are more educated than black men by a larger margin than any other gender relative to their race.

How educated someone is is a terrible way to classify someone because college does a terrible job of actually educating people. Some seriously retarded people out there have fancy degrees

Actual education or buzzword education? Because any dumbass can get a liberal arts or general studies degree.

I think we have different definitions of educated, because I agree with you. I never said the welder wasn’t smarter or more financially stable, just that he has fewer degrees.
