If all you want to do is make money, then you would be foolish to pursue entrepreneurship. Your expected return on starting a company is significantly less than your expected return on doing something like investment banking. Sure, you might strike it super-rich and become a billionaire through entrepreneurship. More likely than not, that ain't gonna happen. Conversely, you can almost guarantee yourself a fortune in the millions to tens of millions (and maybe even hundreds of millions) if you bust your ass in high finance and are great at it.
In summation: How many of us want to get rich? Probably most of us. How many are doing this solely to get rich? Only the silly ones.
