Andrew T,
very sorry for my faulty expression. I begged your opinion on
the following two schemes to understand value added by skilled labour.

(1) hourly value added by skilled labour
=hourly value added by simple labour + education cost/lifetime (working) hours

(2) hourly value added by skilled labour is determined independently from
hourly value added by simple labour + education cost/lifetime (working) hours

If you would take (1), then you would assume that education is a process of
value transfer. If you would take (2), then education would be a process of 'production'
of value creating power.

I'm sympathetic to (2).
