every music department needs theory teachers, and nobody can earn a living as a composer without selling out and writing music people actually like!!
i won't mention how utterly ridiculous, condescending, ignorant, reactionary and simplistic i find this comment, but will point out that it also happens that people study composition to get university positions; i spoke once with a uni prof who was sad to see that many of his master's and PhD students weren't really interested in composition. in fact one of his PhD students at the time had actually told him he was studying composition to get a comfortable job in a university.
