Of course all of mine are educated in order to practice their professions, but i have chosen all 3 in their 50's because i believe they have the common sense derived from experience.
I wouldn't choose any right out of college or medical school to trust my life or monies with.
My point was many professors, aside from med school, haven't worked in the real world, learned from books and don't have the common sense that comes from working in the "real world."
Working for a fortune 500 company i saw alot of book learners coming into the company without a clue as to what was needed in the "real world". The ones without common sense didn't last long.
Just my experience.
