Most people like me dreamed of an academic job with tenure.
Not in my experience. It might be true in subjects like english, history and the social sciences where jobs in industry are rare, but and certainly not in the technical engineering fields. Most people I know getting a PhD did so with the intention of moving on to the private sector.
And I don't know what industry you are in, but lots of companies publish papers and present their research at conferences.
