My unverified hunch is that HN skews towards those who value salary as form of status. I've probably more who studied computer science with a primary motivation of making money than I have who love the job itself. And the inverse it true for those I know in teaching. Suffice to say, there may be some value system projection when people say they don't think anybody wants those jobs.
