  Should all faculty be required to work outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach so as to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, as the speaker asserts? I concede that, for practical disciplines, such a requirement does bring fresh insight and up-to-date information as well as practical experience into their disciplines; however, for the pure theoretical field, working outside for the faculty will turn out to be meaningless.

  I concede that it is necessary for the faculty of the practical disciplines to gain experience from the required work outside. In some certain fields whose knowledge should keep up with the developing world, such as computer, business, management, etc, as we all know, the relevant information is overwhelming and updating with the development of software technology, market mechanics, and managing conception. On this case, the faculty in these fields go to the challenging work outside the academic world will not only accumulate precious experience for themselves but come back with the fresh insight and up-to-date information for their students, who will graduate from the school and devote to the real world work competition. In the realm of computer, for example, every day when we surf the internet we can find myriad of newly designed programs, updated game software, and advanced computer technology, which may be missed by the students gaining the textbook knowledge out of fashion from their professors, who are absent of practical experience. What is more, the teachers with experience will provide instructive opinions about the work orientation of their students, this point, in my view, is crucial for a ready-to-graduate student to make a correct choice in the complicated situation.

  In addition, the chance of working outside will help the professor ferret for the cutting-edge and controversial issues for their research and publication. Appropriate subjects will add practical and marketing value to the research productions, what is more, the professor will gain great honor and respect in the areas of their specialty from the international level. The students will to some extent draw an inspiration from this special experience and make great endeavor on their study.

  However, for those in the pure theoretical domain, it seems meaningless for the faculty to be compelled to work outside the academic world. For one thing, there is merely appropriate work relevant to the courses they teach. One needs look no further than the realm of mathematics, whose professors hold the capability of logically proving the theorems, inferring the formulas, and solving the equations rather than some practical skills. Imagine that how a manager of a company would offer a mathematics professor whose brains full of theorems, formulas, and equations a job, which requires the ability of analyzing the market’s needs, distributing certain tasks, and negotiating with the copartner. For the other, working outside will make some negative consequences to the research of the professors in the pure theoretical disciplines. From many stories of the scientist in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, we can draw a conclusion that those who make great contribution to the above field must have the spirit of burying themselves in the research all day long, forgetting meals and rest, in my view, the outside distraction will moiré or less influence them and the work will waste them a lot of time to do something seeming not appropriate for them, what is the worst, they may get a bad mask of their work. Accordingly, the right people in the right place will make the world running efficiently and effectively.

  To sum up, I agree with the speaker that, in some practical fields, it is necessary for the faculty to work outside the academic world to gain some useful experience and information for their students as well as themselves; however, in some pure theoretical disciplines, in my view, it is meaningless to do so to distract the professor’s theoretical research.
