There are just as many entrepenuerial opportunities not going to college at all and wasting 4 years and $20k+ on a useless degree. Discoveries in science are made by research groups in academic or industrial labs and the proceeds go to the university or corporation. The actual scientists that discover them will be lucky just to keep their jobs. They will almost certainly never see a cent from it.

The advice to just invent something, or start your own company, or heck just go win the lottery is really not helpful nor an argument to spend the time and money to get a science degree. Heck why not just try narcotics. If you don’t like it you can always just quit.
