In my opinion young people tend to chase what they perceive to be prestigious, or evidence of their value in a field. In respect to the technology field I find this tends to manifest it's self in one of two ways, ether aiming for a major company such as the Googles or Facebooks of the world, or they aim to be a cofounder. So if you mean do young people have an interest in starting a start up then I know there are a lot all over. But if you mean are they interested in going to a start up that they may not have heard of, but don't feel part of the founding group then I think that they are scarse. As a 19 year old who is currently studying Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, I would say that most of my peers fall into ether trying to work at a tach giant, or learning what they can at different start ups with the end goal of eventually starting their own. This is just my opinion and is clearly anecdotal but from my experience i think this is fairly accurate.
