nothing personal, Alexey...but I never liked college professors...some are really arogant...never been happier in my life when I finally got out of that mad house college...:-)

Svetlana, so what? Why should I care?
Are you trying to discriminate based on the profession? :-)

no, just saying :-)
a lot of people in the academia are detached from the real world, so they start worshiping themselves..not you, of course...(v) ;-)

I would never insult the college professor.

It is my attempt to hint… real students need help.

Well yeah, Sveta, colleges are places for LEARNING and EXPANDING YOURHORIZONS so I can see how that atmosphere was depressing for you
how would one know if they didn't go to an american college? teaching ESL students doesn't qualify...:-)

I am not interested in your personal story, or anyone else for that matter...sorry...I was just talking to Alexey, if I may..:-) (v)
I don't why you have this habit into turning everything на личности...(sr)

those damn academians with their highfalutin
education - the hell with them. by the way, what is your definition of the real world? do you think that an investor banker or a policeman live in the same world as you? why single out those in the academia?

academia IS for the most part detached from the real world..
for the most part they teach abstract science and real world is a lot more applied.
but so what?

academia IS for the most part detached from the real world..
Yep. Like our Medical School -- where people work in the nearby hospitals. :-)

Alexey, i must have misunderstood..
what i meant - in general most professors at med schools are PhDs or MDs/PhDs..
Also MD is a very practical degree.. there are not very many of those ;)
