For real. I made $400k+ multiple years working for myself in a business that was a mix of product and services. But then divorce, business changes, and my own values shifting pushed me to get a tech job where I made even more, working less, with less stress. It was a great move, though I had to let go of some of my ego to do it.
That said, after about five years of that, I'm ready to get back to working for myself.

This just shows that life is really transient. Life circumstances change, so we probably shouldn't be dogmatic.
Frankly 90% of people probably are not cut out to be entrepreneurs because it requires certain qualities.
