Perhaps the phrase used was not the bet, but the intent of the comment is true and I agree with it.

Those that have never worked in IT except for teaching classes don't have a feel for the real world.  What is stated in books is usually the "ideal" and is never seen in actual application.  This is not unique to the IT world either.   I was working as a manager while in college and mistakenly took a management class.  The "teacher" clearly had never worked as a manager at a real business as the things being taught would never have worked at a real business.  Similarly, methods taught in many CS courses would not work in a real environment either.  With this as the premise, the statement about "real jobs" references experience outside of academia where the environment is different.
