Don't ever ask "What's in it for me?" until you have something someone else wants or needs from you.
Nobody owes you anything. The world (in fact) owes you nothing.
The more you learn, experience, and master the more valuable you become to others.
The more valuable you become to others, the more they want and/or need you.
The moment they realize that they want and/or need you is the moment they will give you something (maybe, everything)
Until that moment...that's "whats in it for you."
Learn evertying you possibly can. One day, you may find yourself relying on a skill-set you had no idea you would ever forsee needing.
