In your opinion, what would you consider a list of study to make one 'educated?'
In the past, it was expected for the educated upper class to have a grasp of a number of notable authors(Virgil, Ovid, Petrarch) and an understand of religious text like the King James Bible as well as cultural knowledge of music and theater. For our modern period, what would you expect to be a decent background for an individual to be considered well educated?
start with the Greeks

All those same things
Minus "dated" activities like horseback riding and fencing
Plus more technical/scientific knowledge
Pretty much anything. Most educated people barely earned their degrees and couldn't speak on the topic of their major with any authority. So if you actual do basic shit like read the Greeks and the bible you'll be further ahead than 99% of people.

To be considered well educated by your average pleb, just have a bachelor's degree and have an article published in your field of study, no matter how shit the journal.
Or, you can read one thing by two Greek writers not assigned in high school, and boom, you'll be considered well educated by that Starbucks barista you're trying to fuck.
