this is the true answer. everyone wants to have their cake and eat it too. working in norway it is almost impossible to convince a norwegian to work a startup because they simply have ingrained in them that they will get a job and start a family and go to cabin to go skiing and nothing inside of them says "if i work hard good things will happen." It is simply that they exist. Sure it is possible to find people who do work hard and pursue interesting careers. But there is not the hunger or the drive that you find in other places like silly valley, shenzen, taipei, etc.
