> It encourages people to chase the corporate ladder, not find meaningful jobs.

From my (arguably limited) experience, if you want a truly meaningful job, nothing beats your own business as in a corporation you'll always be subject to office politics, wishes and desires of your superiors, corporate deciding to change course etc., that's at least what I am planning to do in order for my work to be truly "meaningful".

The trouble is, you'll usually have to take a pay cut for the first couple of years and it's a greater risk than most people are willing to take.

It's not a binary choice, corporation or own business. There are others' small businesses, too.
