Mostly true, but... it depends on personal values. For me, the lower risk rewards me with consistently high quality (and regular) family time. That said, I am granted enough flexibility that if I come up with a saleable product/service idea I am allowed to pursue it with company financing. The odds are extremely low that any idea at all relevant to our operations would end up with a huge payoff, but the odds are much higher that my work will payoff in incremental business wins, and I'm ok with that. I'm not in it for the money [as long as the money is stable and my income has a positive slope].
