I have a PhD too, and I felt I was expected to join academia after finishing my PhD. My supervisor treats me a bit like a "wasted talent" for getting a job in industry. Professors get reputation points when students become professors, in addition to expanding their influence in the field, as junior professors will still seek them for advice and will occupy strategic positions in academia. Some of my friends have told me they feel the same, and know a PhD student who is being discouraged from applying to teaching positions when she finishes, even though she feels that's her calling. There's a sense that teaching positions in academia are even lesser than a research position in industry.
