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.
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.

That’s fair. I was just counting the number of tangible degrees, but you are completely correct.

Then again, maybe it's just my non-welder math skills that are confusing the numbers.
BLS data for welders
