The ability to provide capital, access to a network, personal and professional support, real world experience (in that order) to founders in pursuit of helping them "change the world" is an awesome opportunity. Most VC's I've interacted with truly seem to feel this way. So in that sense, yes, it would be great to be a venture capitalist. Unfortunately, as argued in "The E-Myth", there are probably better avenues, at least for the later 3, to help founders, without the 800lb gorilla of submitting to the "VC system".

The first one is probably the main reason behind answer to OP's question. "Do you aspire to be a venture capitalist?" "Do I have the ability to provide capital?"
