I think the exception is if you are a founder, for at least two reasons. First, if the startup does have success, you can make substantially more than any 9-to-5. Secondly, the skills you develop running even a smallish company can translate well to upper management if you do ever decide to “work for someone else”.

N.b. I do not know this from personal experience, just my observations.
