I guess we need to consider what being educated even means.
Interesting that you would toss law school in with bouncing around in different disciplines in Bloomington. After 19 years of k-12 education, 4 years undergrad, and 3 years law, I can easily say that I did not consider myself educated until law school.
Here is a bit of personal history that emphasizes the point.
When I was in Bloomington, candidates for a Bacekor of Arts degree had to pass an English proficiency exam. I flunked it. The paper was grammatically acceptable but I had nothing to say. (We were given some abstract question to comment on). I met with a grad student a few times, wrote another paper and passed. That was in the spring. Months later I was a 1L taking a mandatory class called something like The Legal Method. It was taught by a tough taskmaster. The grade in that class was based on a single paper. I got the highest grade in that class. What was the difference? I can’t put my finger on it other than to say law school was unlike any other learning experience.
