I think your teacher has given you the watered-down version of "the real world". There are of course orchestras such as the NY Philharmonic and San Francisco Symphony that are superior to military bands both musically and financially, but there are many more orchestras that are in a constant state of "will we be able to make payroll this month?". As a military tuba player, I can say that I never have to worry about not getting paid. I'm also lucky enough to make music with some very talented people every day.
