Theres freedom in teaching but theres also a lot of freedom in industry as well, he said. He went on to say that institutions of higher learning and industries dont compete on the same level because they dont compete with the same people. Those of us who have worked in industry and done a lot of research in major research centers and who decide to teach... must have particular reasons for doing so, outside of money, freedom or anything else.
