>> I think each person will have to choose for themselves.
I think when I started that I never would've saw myself working
in academia, but I'm really happy where I am.
And it wasn't that I was unhappy teaching.
I was very happy teaching as well.
I just kind of capitalized on opportunities as they came.
But I think each person will have to decide for him or herself, you know,
what's the right course for them.
I do think it's really important that they have experience.
So when I was here, I actually played table tennis for the university here and someone
with whom I worked very closely wanted me to get a PhD from the start.
And I kept saying, I'll get there maybe someday but I need to have experience in the classroom.
I think it's really important to have that practical experience so I could draw upon
that in shaping my future and where I am.
So I do think you have to have, you know, both experiences.
