Worse in the sense that its diminishing the value of being an entrepreneur and CEO. For example, if PHD's were being handed out to kids a 40 year old's MBA is now depreciated. Same goes for the status and worth of the word and title CEO / Entrepreneur.

Was there ever an inherent value in either? Entrepreneur shouldn't be a term thrown around to sound impressive, like doctor is, because calling yourself an entrepreneur requires a lot less. Similarly, CEO should be a term that's no more impressive than your company. So somebody calling themselves the CEO of a two-man company doesn't make Steve Jobs any less impressive, because it's not two CEOs, it's Apple and Smallfry.
