Ehhhh... Personal preference, I don't want autonomy at work. I'm much happier being a cog in the machine, going to work at 9, leaving at 5.
I'm a software engineer and work is a means to an end for me, to feed my family, give me financial security, and enable me to do the things I want to do when I'm not at work. For the most part I enjoy what I do but I would strongly prefer to spend less time at work and have more "me" time. I certainly don't want the responsibility and stress of my own business.
The epitome of happiness is certainly not starting your own business for most of Americans.
