Academic? In my experience they are very smart guys who actually have very few real world skills and therefore insulate themselves within the cloistered walls of academia
They are usually hopeless businessmen
They can also be perennially surprising
Jury is still out on this AM gimrack
They do hold the lions share of interest in this concern
That says a lot to me
Gung hey fat Choy guise...
But we want our red envelope!
