:I think the question makes more sense if you consider the cake to be physical work, and the icing to be wealth. In which case, [[social class]] has everything to do with it. There is, however, a way for someone to have qualifications, and for someone else to have knowledge but no qualifications: indeed it was quite common in the UK until relatively recently. In people born before the advent of universal free education until age 16 (which came in in the UK in 1974), it would have been possible to leave school without any qualifications, and to work their way up through, say, an engineering firm until they reach the highest level available. In fact, I'm reminded of an old neighbour of mine who did just that, and who now owns the business without a single qualification to his name. -[[User:TammyMoet|TammyMoet]] ([[User talk:TammyMoet|talk]]) 09:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
