What Does It Mean To Be Educated?

The purpose of education has never really crossed my mind or even the thought of what it means to be educated. Now that I think about, I believe that being educated means having a higher sense of learning and you can apply that learning to today's world. Also, being educated means having a sense of how things work and also what is going on in today's world. Society ultimately decides what it means to be educated. Most people will give the example that having an education means going to college and having a graduate degree. Also, it means being able to survive in today's society and being able to find a job that will fufill the purpose of your education. Ultimately, being educated boils down to what you learned throughout your school years. Lastly, our society tells us from day one that education is important because with education, you can lead a successfull life, and being successful is being pinpointed as educated.
