KE>they hate their job, they aren't happy with their career choice/progress,
KE>their home life is depressing or frustrating, they have vices they wish

I'll tell this to our college president who is as likely to show up in
braces,blue jeans and a t-shirt as he is in a suit.

KE>There.  That should rile up some people.

My, my. Aren't you clever.
