Fortunately, there are sparks of cultural changes lately, especially with the younger folks, but it's a change that won't happen overnight for sure.

I would like to contribute my personal data point on this. I'm a student in a smallish Dutch town at a university that's mostly focused on economics/business and medicine.

It feels like there's a considerate entrepreneurial spirit among the students here. Many seem to wish to found a startup and there are some there doesn't seem to be the mentioned aversion against success and making it big. From what I can tell, most of this is (still) just hot air, meaning that people have big ideas but don't dare start working on them. On the other hand, this might also be due to the lack of a bigger engineering or CS department with more people that can actually build something.

Maybe this is the beginning of a change of culture. I wonder if students in bigger tech-universities have similar experiences.

My personal data point is also, that most people who are interested in startups, including those who do them, are buisnes guys. And we do have three big tech university here in Munich. I know plenty exceptions but overall this is what I see.
