There are corporate jobs in tech where you can spend almost all of your time working on the things you enjoy (say research, product development, or solving hard technical problems) while letting others take care of the things you don't. You don't really have that option if you're an entrepreneur. And the fact that you can get a salary that places you in the upper-middle class is an added benefit.
A remember the stories of people receiving paycheck and not having to report to anyone. I'm on the consulting side so I often forget there are people who don't track every second of their day and get scrutinized for merely working 40 hours.
