> I think you might be surprised by how few people actually want to be business owners.

I'm not surprised by it at all (though I'm not the poster you were responding directly to--that poster might be, I don't know).

I'm just pointing out that you can't avoid the tradeoff I described: if you are not a business owner, you are putting yourself at the mercy of those who are, since you are going to have to be employed by one of them. At the end of the day, business risks are real and cannot be avoided, and those who do not want to be directly exposed to those risks must realize that they are forgoing the associated rewards.
