"didn't require much of an education"

Have you ever tried to move one single cow? Now would you consider trying to move a whole group of cows, without someone educating you how to do so?

Probably not I think. It certainly takes lots of education to become a skilled cowboy. But it required no school education. And more people grew up with horses than with books(back then) so the low pay was because of high supply, not because it was a simple job.
