If they're only interested in tech to make money that's probably what set this hypothetical Starbucks employee up for failure.

Quite a lot of people are only into tech to make money.. and it's working well for them.

Most people outside of the startup scene, including myself, especially those over 35, are only in this for the money. That doesn't mean we can't find both personal and professional success.
