One problem with the studies showing that the "more educated" tend to be "more
conservative" in their opinions is that "education" is usually taken to be measured
by years in school/college or degrees obtained, not differentiating the large
numbers of people in fields such as agriculture, engineering, law, medicine &
natural science, who tend to be mostly quite conventional or conservative in their
political outlook.
If the numbers for people in the humanities & social sciences were broken out, the
results might look very different.
