Entrepreneurs who regret starting businesses

I am 100% certain that many entrepreneurs regret their choices. But kicking off this article highlighting a person whose stated alternative to entrepreneurship was "consistent 7-figures at a management consulting firm" is laughable, as though that's an option for most people.

Yeah, my reaction to that quote was, “well at least probably did less damage to society as an entrepreneur.”

I honestly stopped reading right there in paragraph 3 or whatever, it made me too mad.

But i still came here for the comments!

I'm pretty sure that the probability of hitting 7-figures in a consulting firm is smaller than hitting that figure as a founder of a startup.

Yeah but hitting 300-500k is still quite comfortable

Plus if he was a management consultant I bet he'd hate it even more.
