Great comment. I'm an engineering student and was enrolled in an entrepreneurship course at the business school here. This kind of bias was evident there as well. Our instructor often made comments about our project having "lifestyle business" potential as if that was a bad thing. If we couldn't grow to "$50 million in five years" then we weren't appropriate for venture capital, and we'd have to seek other types of funding, and apparently that was a big negative to him. It was frustrating and counter-productive, really.

This goes doubly for entrepreneurship "classes".... though maybe I'm too harsh and that guy had actually started a business. In terms of the number of millionaires or centi-millionaires in this country-- the vast majority of them got that way with "lifestyle businesses".
