The simple explaination being that most professors in universities, cant get a real job so most dont really know what they are talking about.
I am sure its nothing to do with job satification of teaching, helping the next generation to get skills that will enable them to get a good life, more flexible work hours, to be paid to look into new technologies to determine their relevance to course materials, to have the possibility of doing funded research, then having a pool of bright students you can use to progress your research interests where the only requirement is to make sure they learn something along the way, .... ;-)
I used to work at a university - most of the fellow professors did not *want* to get a "real" job as you put it. They got paid less, but had a lot more fun and a lot less stress! Its not clear to me yet who is "smarter" here.
