[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most people consider it to mean higher education, but to me that’s “academic”.

My H is the most educated person I’ve ever met and he got an associate’s later in life, so not educated in most people’s minds. But he has a huge thirst for learning, listens to audiobooks and podcasts all day long, has self taught himself multiple skills, and rates highly in all the different types of intelligence (logical, emotional, creative, etc). We win at trivia night every time we play, too, ha.

I also think educated is different than intelligent, and that there’s different types of intelligence. My best friend is uneducated and often considered quite stupid - she dropped out of high school and often doesn’t understand things that are common knowledge. But she’s extremely socially intelligent, I’ve watched her go to just the playground with our kids and she becomes everybody’s best friend within minutes. She’s also insanely good at connecting people, she remembers everyone she meets and all their details, so if she meets someone who just had a baby but is struggling financially, she’ll remember the random person she met a month ago who was looking to get rid of their baby stuff and hook the two of them up.

Meanwhile I have the highest and most prestigious degree of all of them and I feel like a total idiot when I’m with them, ha. School was easy for me, real life, not so much. [/quote]

I quite like you, PP. You are a refreshing soul to see on DCUM.[/quote]
