    I’m a retired army sergeant and semi retired from the police. I used to substitute teach at public schools mostly high schools. Most of the teachers went from being students to teachers without ever working in the real world.
    When studying for my law enforcement degree, my instructors all had “smelled the powder” so to say and were great teachers. In high school I had a math teacher that was a CPA for an oil field company. He was tops as a teacher.

    When I went into the Navy, after boot camp I was sent to A School to learn the basics of my specific job. After leaving A School and getting to my ship I quickly learned that there was a lot more to the job than what was taught in the class. There were a lot of shortcuts, a lot extra real world details, some of the information the teachers taught me was completely useless, but I still had to learn them anyway, because some things can ONLY be taught in the class and some things can ONLY be taught in the field, because if you don't learn what's taught in the class first the field work won't make any sense at all. The class room is where you learn to walk, the job is where you learn to run.

      Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band I remember a few years back, for one of our office moves, we had a dumpster service for our building, but were moving to an office complex that had dumpsters. When I called to cancel our old service, they tried to tell me that we were required by law to keep the service going, that we had to take the dumpster with us. I had to argue that there was no place to put it at the new place, and what would have happened if we just closed the business instead of moving. They replied in that case they would just cancel. I had to tell them to just act as if we were closing and cancel, and to pick up the dumpster. Our old building had been sold and was being redeveloped, so if they didn’t pick it up, they would lose the dumpster, and we weren’t paying for it. They canceled the account and picked up the dumpster.

But I was the “scribe” and those served and did boot East coast or west will know what I’m referring to, and understand looking back college did have some value + ink and lead stick knowledge.

    A lot of people will take away from this that the practical expert knows more than the theoretical expert. But, the simple fact is that this is just a case of an experienced student who's taking a class that's beneath his expertise. The professor likely knows quite a few things that Rodney's bringing up, but is sticking to fundamentals for the entry level students in his class. You don't start out on day one doing calculus.

The USA regulated itself into insolvency. Even with all that nobody wants to start a business just to have it taxed away, which means less tax collected. But DC doesn't care, because they decided the invisible tax (inflation) was the solution. Leveraging future production, when current production is dying. What a winning strategy. 🙄

    As funny as this scene was/is, I was a business admin/management major in the mid to late 80s and I never saw this happening in the business/econ/computer science departments. When ever someone from “the real world” would come to speak, all of my professors were glued to and vey happy when these empirically based experts spoke and presented. The Q&As were the most telling in that the professors were all too eager to inundate the speaker with “what if?” questions. It was obvious these professors were concerned with a reality gap between theory taught in the classroom and the real world rigors of the private sector.

      It is because that doesn't really happen. Those in academia teaching a subject do not generally claim to know more than actual experienced people out in the real world. It is usually the reverse, however, as evidenced by all the comments here. Tons of people posting about how teachers don't know anything and all kinds of nonsense about colleges and professors.
      I remember some time ago I took a break from the university and landed a job in a production shop and worked my way up running a department. One day one of the owners sent an email to each department head informing them that a professor from the university was going to bringing in her students to tour the facility. (I recognized the name and it was one of my professors I had took years earlier, which is why I remember all this.) And of course one of the blowhard supervisors replied to that email joking and insulting about the professor and college. I really doubt the professor was going to ask for a tour of a business just to tell her students that she knows more than the actual people doing the real work.

    IDK in light of recent events this hits different. I don't know what the intent of this sketch originally was -- just straight out comedy, an opportunity to throw insults at pompous authority figures, or a cutdown of the detached, aloof "professors" with their "enlightened ideas" that have nothing to do with the real world. The latter is certainly how it hits me now, though as I said I don't know if that was the original intent.

    Having government through business school, I laughed when he talked about a "widget", which is jargon or terminology specific to the that world. But the bugger picture of this scene is it juxtaposed the school version(theoretical) vs. How the real world works(actually experience)

    See, asks at the end, “where to build our factory.” If location matters, then the product ABSOLUTELY does as well. Are the competing interests for specialized labor? What about raw materials? If I’m making grape juice, maybe I want to be close to the growers to save on transportation.
