> Unlike America professors are paid lower than the industry and those who can't get jobs in Industry become professors and treat students like slaves
Just sharing experiences, I was in-industry at the time of my education which caused a huge issue in backlash from the professors. These old salty men were dinosaurs and although I wasn't at some prestigious company I was still learning what it meant to run large-scale and highly-available web services - ie: they were stuck in the 8/16-bit era and I was HUNGRY to learn web.
Although I never felt like a slave, I felt like I was always a "lesser" to them no matter what. Coming to school with a fair amount of programming ability subverted them as I had a ton of people calling me up/IMing me for homework help vs. going to their restrictive office hours.
I wasn't the best student, aced the tests even with horrid attendance, organized collaboration on Google Docs so everyone had a consistent study-guide, and I tutored half of the class because I had better "office hours" that lined up with when college kids are working on homework/assignments... they haaated me.
