Part of this is, I believe, attributed to shiny ball syndrome. We see and hear about these companies being acquired for 1,000,000,000 and think: "Why aren't I doing that?" Another part is actually wanting to do work that's meaningful. How many companies are doing meaningful work? And of those companies, how many roles within the machine are worthwhile?

Scott Adams old take on it: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704353504575596372042140924.html http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870435350457559... " Imagine a parallel universe where employees enjoy going to work. They feel empowered and fulfilled—so much so that they don't care about the size of their paychecks and never want to leave their jobs. That's exactly the sort of nightmare scenario that would destroy the economy. The last thing this world needs is a bunch of dopey-happy workers who can't stop humming and grinning. Our system requires a continuous supply of highly capable people who are so disgruntled with their jobs that they are willing to chew off their own arms to escape their bosses. "
