If you were given an opportunity's to become a professor at a university or
a consultant in a big industry what would you choose? it is a bit subjective but you do
understand what it might entail and what the benefits might be.
one has got the name which stays with you forever
one has got the connections and the money

helppooooo my friend is in a delimma.

Make all the money while you can for prosperity. You can always retire to teach, if you so choose.

LOL OK Blackmamba THANKS BRU
is this the blackmamba of bishop?

I will say it depends on the person disposition.

If the person involve has a flair for business and industry and all that goes with it, then becoming a consultant in industry will be more rewarding financially.

But if the person concern does not have the strenght or has no money drives it may be fun to become a professor/lecturer in whatever field they have chosen and hoping to excel.

The reward is high with industry so is the risk,has it can make or break you especially if the person has young family.

Look at it this way, the time sacrifice on both is almost the same, however with industry, there will be a lot of meetings, marketing, some sales etc.

Whereas, there are no marketing, meetings or sales or unusual deadline in being a lecturer.

I hope that gives you an insight.

Good luck.
