After getting some Math and  Comp  Sci  degrees,  I  hung  around  in
academia  for  a  decade working on a couple of interesting projects.
Then I decided to join the Real World. It took several years to learn
how  to  deal with the easily-bruised egos in that you find there.  I
still tend to think of business folks as utter wimps compared to  the
folks in academia.

Interesting that I should come across a particular used book today.  The 
jacket has a caricature of a appropriately-dressed, medieval-looking fellow 
peering into a mirror; The book is:

"Is My Armor On Straight? - A Year in the Life of a University President" 
by Richard Berendzen, American University, Washington DC.
