Most people are taught to be workers instead of being leaders/entrepreneurs. People seem to forget that couple of million years ago, we were micro organisms that didn't cooperate or work togeter in a society. After a couple of million years of evolution, we evolved into apes, then into neanderthalers and we learned to work in a society where everyone needs to contribute something to stay alive.

The basic instinct of humans is the same as animals; survive at all costs. If you teach kids to be independent and be entrepeneurs, you are increasing their chances to survive because they don't need an employer. Working for a boss is a false sense of security, because everybody can get kicked out theoretically. It's much better to create your own security by creating multiple ways of income as an entrepreneur.

Anyways, if you master the skills of being a succesfull entrepreneur, you can actually leverage those skills when you go back to working for a company (such as being pro active, being able to multi task, leadership and vision, finding new business opportunities, running your own unit, etc.).  So your kids will have an advantage there as well.


However, a real entrepeneur will eventually get crazy working for a boss and quit once he sees a good opportunity and can afford the risk ;-)
