              I agree, it seems as if the impression of many people in the
"Real Work world" think that people in a University or College setting "don't
really do any work" If this is so I wonder what they are being paid to do ?
If you wnat to know the truth the people that really work in this country are
those that prodouce something whether it's cars,tomatoes or computer programs.
It seems to me that all a lot of business  types produce is hot air,memos and
paper and mooorrreee paper.
