That's when I found out that sometimes when you're in the real world there are people who stick to what they know and when they do that one it's really hard to replicate because they found a system that works for them but is there sometimes really not transferable to anybody else.

The answer for the past 20 years has been China. I am a manufacturing and supply chain consultant with 40 years of global experience. Over and over I hear the same thing - We will just outsource it to China. When I ask the question Why? the answer is always "because it's cheaper and easier". This is exactly why they need me to help them answer the question why. Many times the answer is China is not cheaper and not not not easier.

@@danielmcgillis270 I understand your point. SC risks have been very high since US companies moved production to China. When manufacturing moved to China these companies became essentially brands. Once the Chinese contractors had the money from making the stuff they bought the US brands. Fewer and fewer products are designed in the US now. The "trusted brand" is now entirely owned by a company in China. Companies in China are partnerships between the government and the Chinese entity. This is the problem of China and it has all been brought about by American Business people chasing lower costs and consumers buying all of the lower cost goods. We asked for this. Freight moves by aircraft in addition to ships. You would be surprised at how much.

This is my favorite scene from a really wonderful movie that had a very interesting concept; what happens when a successful middle aged man tries to relive his youth and finds out that he can't because he's not young anymore. This scene is so enjoyable not only because it is funny but it perfectly illustrates the difference between knowledge and wisdom and how the latter is infinitely more valuable. Rodney's character has lived and triumphed through the lessons that the professor preports to teach thus giving him a superior perspective.

They had a private meeting with the head of the local political machine, slipped $65,000 in cash across the table, and the permits were issued the next morning. That's today's reality.

You have to have accounting fundamentals down pat before starting a job. Companies don't pay you to learn Accounting 101...they are a business, not a school. You learn the accounting fundamentals, and THEN the company trains you on the specifics of the industry and company business. They aren't going to give you 4-5 years to learn accounting on their dime and with their books. You have to know it coming in. So in technical industries like accounting, engineering, medical, etc. you have to have both the academic and the experience to do your job. In non-technical "soft skill" jobs like sales, marketing, etc. you can get away with a lack of academic knowledge because in those fields you really just needs to learn your clientele and how they click...it's more of a "people" field and less of a technical skill field.

I always loved this scene. Was Rodeney actually telling the viewers the truth about how business actually works. After many years after this movie originally aired I have experienced the exact truth in similar ways of what he said. No matter how much hard work or earning a higher level of education you put into being successful in achieving dreams in a career it does not reward you success unless you know somebody. There is always someone with the money and power who want to take credit for your hard work so they have a little power over you and gain more control to secure their position at the top. And if those with the power do not like you or your worldview it does not matter how much hard work, education, sacrifice, and the blood, sweat, and tears that went into it. But I know the ending of the story and can be joyful. Psalm 73. Why is it that many people love the ending of this movie? Because the protagonist won the respect and adoration of everyone and also won the heart of the woman. The antoginist lost all what Rodney gained including his woman. Rise above the antoginist in your life. From the words of Rodney; "I don't take shit from anyone!"

I've always felt that before you're allowed to teach, even junior high, you need to work at the very least two years in your field of study OUTSIDE education. The problem is that we have people who go to kindergarten, elementary school, junior high, high school, and university and then jump right back into a classroom as a teacher without ever actually working in the world we're supposedly educating our kids for. Teachers need to understand what it's like working in a business and need to know how their field of study is applied practically.

If you're going to a working class college (like Touro) and studying business, paralegal work, education, physical therapy, then the instructors all have real-life experience in the field. There are no "professors" there; the instructors are all industry professionals teaching at night or on weekends as a side gig. But in a university like this, they have porfessors who have never been out of college. They don't really understand what you face out there in the business.

I've been to 6 diff colleges in the pursuit of 2 degrees. The best education I got for the money was at a lowly community college, where none of the profs had more than a masters degree, but all had worked in their fields and in most cases were still working. At the expensive private college there were world-famous researchers who couldn't teach, refused to meet with students, were only semi literate in English, worthless as advisors, etc etc.

@@valuecalc i THOUGHT the same thing, until I got pissed at the Business Law prof ... she was an idiot, what kind of lawyer teaches part time? Sooo I looked up her salary in the school budget. (Available in your school library) AAnnnddd she was making $80,000 a semester for 3 hours work a night. Not bad.

Good example of your modern day liberal professor who has basically been a career college student.

I'm sorry, but I'm with the professor on this one. Mellon (Dangerfield) is just bogging things down with details that are not yet relevant. You can learn about all that stuff after you've got a good grasp of the basics.

exactly. the point was the professor, while trying to teach the class what I technically supposed to be the ethical way in all business are run, was teaching them an idealized version of how business actually works. Mellon understood the reality of shady stuff in business because he had to live it himself. there is a reality to a lot of those large business and deals, etc. where shady stuff happens more often than people realize. so in the one sense, while the professor should be commended for trying to teach his class the ethical and, in theory, proper way to start and run a successful business, Mellon was in reality more practical

I had a couple professors that own their own businesses. They taught business very well. Plus i know them both. But yes, that's the problem if professors don't run a business. Textbooks are the only option.

most them are worried about creating an ideological economy that ignores economic laws and simple realities. Also it would seem to be very static as is, ironically, most of academia, that merely preaches aesthetical diversity. Screw who you want, smoke some dope, pretend not to be racist in the name of hating racism etc etc. but they'll keep counting your money.

My accounting prof made multi-millions and then started teaching. He taught for $1/year. A good man and good businessman. I did terrible in the class but "learned" a lot.
