Why not work part-time in industry (it pays well), and do science in the remaining time?

Because I want my work to be meaningful, and I don't want to be a shill. I want my contributions to go to mankind (the model of science) not some rich investor (the model of industry). Plus the work in industry is almost universally boring compared to the work in academia.
