Hey, 2 post per day! - am I quiting the lurker's corner ?  ;)

As charracter creation is strongly based on the US schooling system, I
wonder if at least a ML member is interested to build a:
 "Graduation/Age" table for the different country represented in this ML.

               You can enter in the professional world as an "Aprentice"
               for 2 years of underpaid working.

16-18      Secondary school
               Lycée - Baccalaureat wit a specialisation, roughly:
               Litteracy/Ecconomy/Scientific/Technical
