I don't _want_ to like this, but it definitely rings true for the place I moved to (Ireland). In my circle of friends I don't think the idea of starting a business has even come up - except for other Americans like myself, weirdly. So far as I can tell it just isn't that appealing since (for the moment) there are decent jobs and it's less hassle. I don't know about other places in Europe but Tall Poppy Syndrome, "Notions", etc. is a big thing here - people should know their station, evidently.
