Yes, they are called "employees". People inclined to pursue work on what they enjoy are often very happy to achieve a comfortable salary with decent benefits. There is nothing wrong with that. The difference is in depth of passion, and in how much that is part of the individual's identity. I respect entrepreneurs, and I also respect the humble employee.

I know some very successful people, and most all tell me that the journey and experience is what drives them.
