> Tech workers are more educated because cities are more educated

No, knowledge workers (including tech workers) are more educated because of the specific requirements of the jobs they do.

While that type of jobs may be disproportionately concentrated in cities, the ones that are rural are still educated.

Sorry I don’t mean to say that there aren’t educated people in rural areas, but the trend is generally your point of concentration. Many people look down on farmers despite many being extremely educated. But certain educational backgrounds are more valued in societal perceptions.

Good distinction on knowledge workers.
