OT Thanks for this one here:

"Investing is usually also a question on who
takes what proportion of the gain, and what proportion
of the loss,.."

I have always tried to explain that higher education is an investment and as such must not be provided by governments, which should have concentrated the funds in basic education.

But this what you wrote prove me right:
(I'm talking about developing countries here)
If investing is a question of who takes what proportion of the gain, leads us to believe that governments invest money in higher education -which is expensive- and the guy with the diploma reaps all gains.

This because in certain countries (according to OECD) governments invest ten times more in higher education than in basic education. Thus leaving the mass of the population with the loss and subsidizing the cost of state universities.

As a result, a high disparity in income is a result of high disparity in investment in education.

By the way: I dropped out high school because I learned very early the dirty little secrets of developing countreis school system.

I think I would never ever be as good with a loaded Cal. 45 than I am at building GSM networks. Besides the life spam here is longer.
