-graph bar- by defaults shows means and it is hardly surprising that
the means of -wage- and -collgrad- are not similar in magnitude.
In practice, you would be better off with -twoway bar- after
-collapse-. You might still need to multiply up -collgrad- by some
large factor, but you can have two y axes and make sure that the axis
labels tell the truth.

So, I try to add another y-axis on the right of the graph with collgrad's scalling being labelled. But I do not know how to realize this. (-graph combine- is simply to combine two graphs in one page, and this is not what I want.)
