Edit: and I guess on one hand innovation and providing jobs is good but for everyone to want to do it now is a little crazy.
I don't think that's true, it just looks that way inside our tech bubble. If I look at the 100 people I know best (all in their early/mid twenties) only myself and 3-4 others have started businesses. I've stuck at it for about 5 years now, the others only lasted between 1 month and 4 months. I don't know for sure but I believe most businesses that are started are still local service businesses (barber, butcher, convenience store etc.) which you wouldn't think from reading the tech press everyday.
My guess is that most rational people who attempt the former learn to respect the latter, and either do a better job the second time (or, rarely, figure it out the first time) or decide they're better off working for someone else.
Of course, that formula fails as soon as some gasbag gets VC money for spouting the right spin... but hopefully that's a very, very small minority. :)
I hate that taking an office job was ever trendy and that most people do it.
I think it is fantastic that people want to create companies. After all entrepreneurs take risks to create jobs, value and wealth.
