Very nice article and I agree with your general point emphatically. The part that seems somewhat off is the comparison of investment bankers/lawyers/doctors and entrepreneurs. Being a professional who sells his time is very different from being an entrepreneur that creates a successful business. How many lawyers or doctors could retire at age 30?

Thanks and you're right. It was an oversimplification to highlight the fact that many of the people who make the most money don't have control over their time. Some entrepreneurs fit in that category, but there's certainly a huge difference between selling your time and being a successful entrepreneur. That's one of the many reasons why I'm an aspiring entrepreneur and not a professional who sells his time : )
