I wish you had any clue what an entrepreneur actually is. A money making scheme? That's laughable. Spoken like someone that is definitely not an entrepreneur and will never be.
Actually I've started my first company while in university, back in 1999. I sold my share in 2003. The company is still going strong today, and has around 30 employees nowadays (which might not sound much, but I'm from an entirely different country/IT environment). I also work for a startup the last two years, although not as a founder. I'm in my early 30s too, thanks for asking.
The whole "entrepreneur" thing, from the very word "entrepreneur", I find pretentious and silly, sort of like the "hipsterism" of the programming world. Oh, I did this and that, ramen, bla, MVP, bla, Rails, bla, exit, bla, VC round, bla, etc. Just build the thing, and STFU.
I admire people building things, from Steve Jobs to Bill Joy, who didn't run around selling the entrepreneur vibe.
Which, as I see it, is a rather recent fad, maybe a decade old at least in this particular form.
