...need to hit the books or get some additional training at a local college, or even earn a certification or accreditation, depending on what you're considering. That's the way Irwin Weinstein, 57, of Wyckoff, N.J., moved from the corporate world of IBM, where he worked for 29 years as a program manager, to a classroom at Elizabeth High School in New Jersey, where he's now a math teacher. After getting a buyout package in 1991 that included a year's salary, a full pension worth one-third of his salary and a guarantee of continued corporate-paid...

This used to be the province of rock stars; now it belongs to disgruntled media executives. Whether the Brown-Galotti-Weinstein alliance will prove to be another DreamWorks, which seems to be working out O.K., or a misguided marriage, like Mike Ovitz being shoehorned into Disney, remains to be seen.
