I agree with all your points. I think the following two are important (they have been for me):
- Sense of Entitlement: I thing your studies can give you that (mine have)... That's something the society has given to some, not to all. There's room for improvement.
- Expectations: as long as our society is a 9to5-job-society, you can't expect much more... Here again, there's room for improvement.
"Just put shame on successful entrepreneurs for having no merit because of their (supposed) wealth."
That's what I felt when reading the article (and I'm by no means rich).
I think pretending you have to be rich to be an entrepreneur is extremely counter-productive, and that's what the article does (a socialist penchant also found at http://qz.com/author/agrothqz/) instead of looking at ways to make the situation better. If I judge my own country (France, which I left), I'd say this is the nation-wide mindset, and its harming entrepreneurship like mad.
