Entrepreneurship is not a way to get rich

Entrepreneurs do not generally out-earn their peers, according to a review.

• Entrepreneurship has a higher variance. Some people will win big and others will win nothing
• It's an attractive profession as most people would love to be their own boss. This generally makes entrepreneurship a worse way to make money.
• The barriers to entry are typically low.

However, these points apply to every profession. The risk-adjusted, expected income and barriers to entry should be roughly equal.
