No monetary benefit to speak of for most of today's youth. I'm not a fatalist and i believe every person creates her own destiny. But let's be real also, the cards are heavily stacked against the youth for the great disadvantage of all of us. The so called "economy" is loosing immeasurable amounts of productivity just because the people in charge (both on a macro and micro level) have decided that they need to hold back young people.
Just compare the level of taxation on labour with the taxes on real estate or imports/exports.
It's absurd to claim that working or having a career delivers no monetary benefits.
