Hi everybody!
I started a thread in French-English Forum, and when my question concerning French language has been resolved, there arises another question about an Enlgish phrase that I can't quite grasp its meaning.
Following is what I googled, but I can't find a definition for it. http://www.apprenticeshipineducation.com/ow.asp?TheValueofanEducation
I had been granted the opportunity study, both a student and as teacher, a nice range of classical European works. Almost all of this is precisely intellectual baggage – at least in the sense that we might give the phrase.

They show how to "unpack" your physical, emotional, and intellectual baggage and "repack" for the journey ahead.
And here is the reply of Ruk in the French-Enlgish Forum.

"How did they reach this point? Two out of every three poor people left the school system with no professional qualifications or much intellectual baggage" or (my preference) "with no qualifications, professional or otherwise".
Could you please give me a clear definition for it?
And why Ruk said "professional or otherwise? Does "intellectual baggage" doesn't belong to professional qualification?
Thanks in advance!
