A big difference is that modern kids are conditioned to do what they're told, work hard and choose a safe path in life.
To get into a good school now you have to spend your time studying hard to pass the standardized tests.
Previously kids playing around, got bored, chasing girls/boys, leaving home as soon as possible, maybe joined the army, married young. So a 25 year old already had a lot of life experience. Able to take the responsibility to follow dreams and start up a new firm.
Today's kids at 25 are just leaving school and still dont really know much about the real world. Great candidates to get a safe job in a company, not so great at starting a firm.
