This isn't an article, it's an opinion piece with a bunch of anecdotal evidence and random quotes to support the author's case. The caption "Nor are they Zuckerberg" is outrageously condescending and judgmental. "None of these people are smart enough to become successful entrepreneurs," judges the author, "and they shouldn't even bother trying." Is it a surprise that lots of people have the wrong idea about what it takes to be successful with a startup? No, and it shouldn't be a surprise. Just like any profession that pop culture heaps praise upon, there will be many who have an unrealistic view about what it takes to gain success. It's the same as starting a rock band - some people are going to be outrageously successful and most won't, but most who fail will gain experience and will not regret having tried. For those who think that this is a problem, try to fix it - go give a talk to some young entrepreneurs about how hard it is. Let them know what the risks are and how much work it's going to take. Try to help them be better equipped for the challenges ahead.
