While discussing character generation with some fellow players, a question came up to us and we had very different opinions on this topic, so I guess it would be very helpful to see if there is a "correct" answer to this question: Does professional training (eg. acting school, athletic training, culinary school, apprenticeship under the mentoring of craftsmen) count as Education? Is it appropriate for academically less educated (by this I mean without higher educational degree , or in some historical settings never been to schools at all) characters to have high EDU (high as 80 or 90) if they have received equivalent time of professional training? Or is it only reflected by the corresponding Skill? I guessed that since EDU can get improvement checks as the character grows older, it does not solely represent the highest academic degree the character received (no one automatically gets a bachelors degree by living some decades longer). The rule book says "Education is a measure of the formal and factual knowledge possessed by the investigator, as well as indicating the time the investigator has spent in full-time education.", so I think I might need some specification.
