Yeah well I don't have any specific grief with academics, but it does strike me as ironic that those who are supposed to be the beacons also often seem to be the most risk averse.
I can of course only speak for Denmark and a little for the US (having worked there), but there doesn't seem to be any correlation (nor causation) between high academic merits and entrepreneurship.
Which I guess once you think hard about what entrepreneurship really is makes some sense.
