https://m.jagran.com/lite/bihar/bhojpur-six-people-became-assistant-professor-leaving-the-post-of-dsp-and-deputy-collector-22520958.htmlYou can work in PSC jobs for 25 years, be better than all of your UPSC seniors and still new upsc recruits, who also have studied the same GS, will be promoted before you. They'll get better cars, accommodation and other perks.
They'll be learning the job from you and other underlings not just during training but their entire careers and still won't learn the job. They'll trash your work for not using Bureaucratic English. They'll be sort of managing your day to day work.
Every year you'll have to do Gandhigiri to not get transferred to far flung areas. You'll be forced to do dubious things on command of higher ups. But if you're bent and have no morals this is just a great job and will make you rich.
No such thing in Assistant professor jobs. You may even get the top post one day. People tend to look for jobs where they may reach the top.
Asst Professor means no transfers! Set for life. Lots of free time, and if you're really interested in your subject, many opportunities for research and travel, Plus automatic "Respect" in society. They usually (should) leave it only for IAS/IPS home cadre or IFS.

Are you seriously comparing the respect a Dy SP or SDM gets to whatever an Assistant Professor gets.
Even your father's cousin's friend's son will brag about his father's friend's cousin's son is Dy SP or SDM. These people can get things done. They also lend people money because they generally have surplus cash. Assistant professors are always asking to borrow money. Even their children don't think much of them. That's the ugly truth.
But quality of life and work environment is still a lot better in assistant professor

Haha bro... reality is very different. Dy Collector in Bihar seems like a very prestigious post, but when you get into the services, AIS officers will have superiority over you. I know a person who got into Ssc cgl, got one promotion, went to become Dc inBihar , came back to rejoin in centre

It wasn't a direct comparison between the "respect" they each get. I was simply saying that all these together may be the reason behind such a decision.
Regarding "respect", we may be comparing apples and oranges here. A college professor, in our society, gets respect for simply being a professor, though he may not be able to help someone in his requirement wrt a government thing. That way a peon in collectorate may be more "powerful" than him and that peon may be able to get things done there which the professor will never be able to, and people in need, may "respect" that peon for that matter. But, these are two different "respect"s.
I have no idea what the offsprings of professors think about their parent and for "surplus cash", the professor will have to write some books or screenplays😅 but, again, the comparison isn't right. What if one isn't interested in that surplus cash? They will be getting UGC scale salary, which is pretty good by any scale in government.
" Assistant professors are always asking to borrow money. Even their children don't think much of them. That's the ugly truth"
1. Bhai wo asst professor hai, his payment is guarded by ugc rules and they do get pretty good payment.
2.They have their own sphere of influence, those who learn and gather knowledge from them respect them a lot.
3. "Even their children do not think much of them" ? Seriously??
My prediction is if election result goes against the ruling party then this issue would be considered sympathetically, If they win then upsc won't agree and no chance would be granted.

Bro gone r those days when professors were given low salary.
Today their salary is much better. They get lots of allowances. In terms of money, their salary is enough to lead a good life. If they r wise in expenditure they simply dont need to borrow money.
Regarding influence u hv no idea. They can help in making someones carrer. The recommendation of a good professor can easily land someone in prestigious colleges abroad.
Bt since they cannot help in our day to day administartive matters or help in dealing with traffic police or protection from land encroachment, their influence is limited to a very small circle. In contrast even a steno of district magistrate has a much wider influence.
So at the end wat matters is personality while selecting any job
