Rude to professor.
He was rude to the professor, the actor who played Bently, the Jefferson's former next-door neighbor.
The professor was not so nice about the " self-help book to get ahead " wise crack. The teacher was unprofessional.
The comment about, " can't hack it in the real world " and said he came to academia to get away from the real world was not nice either.
There's an old expression - Those who can - do. Those who can't - teach.
While certainly not applicable to everyone, there are a lot of college professors who would have had a crappy career (if at all) if they worked outside of the university.
I suspect Brian's comment was on point which is what rattled his prof.
It was also justified seeing as how pompous and insulting the professor was being.

or anyone ?
well some i guess , but the minority not the majority.
I've never understood that phrase . It seems to be just thrown about as an insult to teachers .
There are a lot of college professors who would (and could) make far more money if they went into private industry , but they prefer the academic lifestlye, the freedom to direct their own research and persue the science more directly
and schoolteachers - well they do an essential job under difficult circumstances , at least they are definately making an invuluable and neccasasry contribution to civilisation, unlike a lot of other jobs.
people throw that "Those who can't" thing at hem cos theyre jealous of their summer holidays I reckon.
