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.

There is also the concept that the terms "manager" and "management"
are often totally unrelated.  In a previous life I remember scanning
resumes looking for someone to fill a new position.  We advertised
for a Project Manager.  we got dozens of applications from people
with experience such as "managed a Foot Locker Shoe Store at the mall
when I was in high school".  Or "5 years experience managing a
McDonalds".  We were looking for someone to manage a networking project
at a government site with a total value of about $25,000,000.
