This is true of pretty much every profession. Academics get a lot of heat because there is some silly feud around elitism and common people but the reality is most people in every career are there because it's easy. I'm a software developer by trade, not because I went through hardship to become one but because I happen to really enjoy writing software. I'm just lucky it happens to be lucrative.
