The Semester Strikes Back

I know someone who recently returned to university. Not as a student, not even as a lecturer, but as a general employee. There's a saying that goes something like, "Those that can't do, teach. Those that can't teach, teach gym class." So what does that make people who work at Uni? You have to woder what motivates someone to return to the place where they studied, hang out with the lecturers (most of which were pedophiles) and eat the same crappy nachos in the library cafeteria?

I guess it all comes back to the Semester.
