I agree. There's also the advantage of knowing about academia from the inside, so you don't think of it as some foreign land.
I've been in three institutions in my life -- the army, academia and business. Of the three, academia was the worst. Faculty meetings in the small college where I first taught made me feel like I was in some religious order.
