Oh yeas definitely. Lab directors make the worst managers.

It’s almost like the two skill sets are not actually equivalent.

Maybe some graduate-level classes need to be taught by a researcher in the field and so students simply have to deal with any deficiencies that researcher may have as a teacher, but IMO undergrads will probably learn more at a community college because the professors are actually there to teach.
(I still wouldn’t recommend the community college because the diploma from there won’t get the graduate much respect.)
