It's really funny that you should say that. Some of the best teachers I had in college were engineers and scientists who were laid off from NASA and Lockheed during federal budget cuts. They had the education and the practical experience so they could relate the course work to the real world. When the defense contracts returned, I don't think any of them left teaching to go back into industry.MechAg94 wrote:Teachers who retired from other careers are rare from what I hear.
