	To the educators out there ...

	Have you found any differences between working with a masters
	candidate who has been in industry, ie., has work experience,
	and a candidate who is going straight from BS to MS?

	Which candidates work harder?  

	Which seem to understand and grasp their work better?

	Which are more cooperative, ie., who is the better team player
	when working on group projects?

	Who would you rather teach?  Why?

	I'm talking strictly about candidates who have been working full-time
	for at least two years.  I'm not talking about people who have
	worked during semester breaks or over summer vacations.
