>Anyone that's been to college will probably agree that most college professors don't understand the real world. However, I *did* have one that understood college. He said once, "You go to school for four or fives years and then they stamp BS on your back and send you out into the world".

I don't know if they don't understand it or don't teach about it. I personally don't believe that it's the function of higher education to teach you about "the real world". Of course, if you've never known anything other than academia, it's a bit tough to see beyond it.
