I don't have an education. What you making? I am pulling $80k.

You have an education, you merely lack a formal degree. Very different things.

I was under the impression that being a high school graduate was not an education and that to be educated that it would require me to have at least an associates degree.

Anything you learn adds to your education, be it a binary search tree in CS 201 or the national electrical code on a job site.

I have a certification from ubiquiti for wireless broadband and FIS fiber installer. That's all recent though.

Certifications certainly count. Presumably some one taught you your job via on the job training. All that is educational. Perhaps not a formal classroom education, but still. Some colleges and universities even give life experience credits for things learned outside a formal classroom. It’s all education. Point being there are several official english dictionary definitions for “education”, but only one specifically points out schools and even then it uses the modifier “especially” but not “only at”
