Anybody else feel trapped

I feel like we all praise the classic pathway of 2 years Ib, 2 years pe, 2 years MBA and then back to pe. No matter how much you make make $100,000k to $1,000,000 it sounds like the govy still takes 30% - 50% of your income. Which brings be to ask is it worth really working 90 hours long term or should I think of a way to create my own business? What business can you even start after banking?
