Mr. Ahmad worked as a police detective in Guyana before joining a Guyanese immigration wave to New York City in the early 1980s. A private portion of his Facebook profile, accessible by more than 250 of his friends on the Web site, states that he earned degrees from Baruch College in Manhattan. However, the college has no record of him.

4. bherri ramsarran, russian trained ‘doctor’
5. bharrat jagdeo, russian trained ‘ecunomist’
5. donald ramotar, russian trained ‘ecunomist’
6. juan edghill, magical doctorate in something
and on and on and on

As I told TK many times, those who fail in the real world turn to teaching to compensate for their failures. But to give TK credit, he trying a thing in the real world with the AFC, even thought misguided it still is a step in the right direction. The only problem is that Guyana don't need theorists, it needs people with real world experience.

I find your train of thought particularly instructive. As a matter of fact, it helps me to understand why Guyana will always be a dankey cart economy with uneven development and ethnic conflicts. In your world street hustling, smuggling and the like are the hallmark of achievement. Teachers are losers in your world - they don't know anything so that's why they teach. The world is governed by whims and fancy of the blowing air - what I call the piss in the wind strategy in your piss in the wind world. That is why you guys fell lock stock and barrel for the most asinine development plan ever conceived - LCDS. 

Career professors are indeed failures. There are those who after excelling in the real world turn to teaching so as to share their valuable experience, you don't fall into this category.  The world is governed by those intellectuals that are not stuck behind a lectern pondering what might have been. Should you with your flirtations with the AFC achieve real world experience then you would have completed your intellectual journey in economics. Until then you will continue to be a theorist. 

BG_S not sure if i share your views.  It is these same professors who are turning out the best trained minds here in the US to run businesses and the economy.  The professors job is to teach the theoretical concepts and try to relate to the real world happenings.  It's the student duty to take it and apply to his real wold situation and become successful.  They all will do it in their own way, some better than other an some will be more successful that others.

The professors job is to teach the theoretical concepts and try to relate to the real world happenings.

Correct.

However, there are those who maintain their outstanding theoretical approaches, those who have gained the profound transferable practical experience to make apt suggestions and then ... there are those who wildly step into the world to babble nonsense.

There you are trying to sound smart but only jumbled crap is the outcome. 

Continue babbling your nonsense.  

They teach the theory but the best minds take it a step further and put that theory into practice.  

Feel free to call him Goadieman, go ahead it does feel real good.

Cain.....like Baseman distancing eee self from Godieman.

Not babbling...just showing the world how much of a joker you are. I will keep updating this thread when Princeton, Forbes, US News, etc, bring out theirs...and I will post legitimate links.

You have it completely reversed thus your displayed ignorance. It is much more likely for a prof to start a business than for a business owner/CEO to become a prof. Being a CEO don't mean you can generate original publications + teach. As a matter of fact, I know guys who could not get tenure-track academic jobs and went private sector to make more money...but they would leave in a jiffy to enter academia if the chance arrives. And when profs are denied tenure they move into private sector, then they always make more money. Unless you are the head of the division someone will write your conclusion for you...but hey the money is good...that's not my personality...what I write is determined by the science...that's why I love my world...the freedom is wonderful...but you will never experience it.  

You have it all wrong, those who leave academia to work in private industry are the bright ones looking for fulfillment out of the classroom. You don't fit into this category, at least not yet.

Three Reasons Why College Professors Leave Academia to Work in the Private Sector

Bright people can make more money in the private sector (i.e., in corporate America) than they can on the college campus, so it is no wonder that many college professors leave academia. But there are more complex reasons for scholars' decision to leave academia. Here are the top three reasons.

Reason one: to feel more significant. Many college professors leave academia to work in the private sector so they will feel like they are making a difference in the real world. Although teaching students can be satisfying, it lacks the practicality of solving real-world problems in corporate America. While typical professors spend their working hours discussing real-world issues in an abstract way,their private-sector counterparts encounter real, concrete problems that truly need to be solved. There is a sense among many professors thatmerely talking about problems is less satisfying than actually solving problems that matter to people. So, in addition to the ability to make more money, working in the private sector provides a chance to make a difference for many such professors.

You guys need to be more respectful.

I do respect decent human beings, not scumbags who's aim is to discredit anyone on the side of fairness.

I keep telling you jokers mining Google search will not help fill obvious deficiencies. But again I find your train of thought instructive. I get insights into why Guyana will remain a dankey cart economy with ethnic conflicts and uneven development. The article was most likely written by someone was denied tenure or someone who tried the academic market but could not get in. Profs make real life contributions all day...it is sad the Jadgeoites can't see that; hence they allowed UG to pine away. Instead of focusing on the science for enhancing Guyana's obvious potentials, your boys focus on wine down entertainment, copyright infringements, brothels, gambling, LCDS nonsense, and turned a blind eye on smuggling. That is what you guys mean by real world. Smugglers and hustlers have reached the pinnacle of PPP's enlightenment culture. 

1. Profs sit on boards.

2. Profs consult with businesses and government on a daily basis - whether it is science, business, finance or foreign policy. Perhaps the writer could not get consulting gigs.

3. Profs develop the basic research which firms have to commercialize. And when they need to commercialize they have to turn to the kids profs train to do that.

4. Profs are on TV all day giving opinions and commentary - law, econ, finance, business. Check out Bloomberg, CNBC, etc.

5. Profs develop the theoretical framework which govt and business will use - theory is reality and reality is only explained by theory. 

6. Many profs form businesses. But CEOs can't be profs that easily. The publication barrier is too high. 

7. Profs help CEOs to develop scientific and other papers - see recent paper published by Google's Brin - coauthored with a prof. 

8. Profs are there in civil society to expose elected oligarchy, exploitation of the poor and the powerlessness and be a thorn in your boys sides. 

9. When companies want to go public and grow - especially science ones - they have to turn to profs and their students. See Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc. 

I don't mean to diminish your worth as an academic, however where I object is this notion that somehow because you are a professor, you know what is good for the rest of us. You will note that govt rarely seeks out the advice of your kind other than as a second opinion. 

 Another great school is Hunter, CUNY. Cheap and sweet and if you commute there will be zero debt. 

Depends on how much you want to spend.  I don't know how much Hunter can compete with other colleges but of course it depends on the child and the parent and their goals 

We always aim for our children to go to better universities than us, both my girls are aiming for Ivy League though they are still young. 

for those in the know, Hunter is a hidden gem as far as value-for-money is concerned

That's where i want my boy to go...Perhaps City College. The man don't ever want to be in a class I will teach . For PhD he will then go to the best school in his field. That may or may not be an Ivy.
