There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting into business to make money. Nothing.
There is nothing wrong with discovering a problem you don't have or care about that people are willing to pay to have fixed, slugging through building something to solve that problem, and trying to maximise your profit and minimize your time. There is nothing wrong with working hard in a field you are not passionate about to make money.
How passionate do you think the guy soldering your alarm clock battery to the circuit board in Guangdong China is about his job? He does it to make money for himself and/or his family. Is there something wrong with choosing entrepreneurship with the hope of making a fuck ton more money than that, or are you required to take the job you can get unless you want to build a billion dollar business for shareholders?
Only working on something you are fully passionate about and getting paid well is a luxury not everyone can afford.
There is also nothing wrong with creating a non-profit to help limbless children in Cambodia, taking no salary, and spending all your time in service of others.
In fact, the former can allow you to do the latter, still support your family, and live well yourself.
I agree with mindcrime. And I wonder why so many PandoDaily writers are so full of pomp. And fuck that guy.
