My mother forced me to take 10 years of piano and 4 years of flute (bargained down from violin after a lot of hysterical screaming and crying) because "everyone needs to learn a musical instrument to be a well-rounded person". I still don't know wtf that means.

I have a bunch of college degrees but I don't think they necessarily make you cultivated, by default. Part of the definition of cultivated is to be educated, so a degree certainly could play into that. I suspect you could still be "cultivated" without the degree, though. Probably has a lot more to do with genetics, upbringing, and the desire to be so. I don't think how much money you make is a deciding factor, though.
