Is anyone else bothered by this definition of "working"?  If the
teacher wanted a nonacademic scientist, then the teacher should say
that.  Implying that university scientists are not working is ignorant
at best.  Ah well.  What can you expect from people that say things
like "I mean a REAL doctor" when referring to a physician!
