I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young professional' is the definition.
'yuppie' can be an answer for 'professional' (yuppie is a kind of professional). I am not certain of the 'young' bit.

'pup one working in yen and euro' is the wordplay.
'one working' indicates an anagram.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'yen' becomes 'y' (resembles the symbol for the currency of Japan).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'euro' becomes 'ie' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'pup' anagrammed gives 'upp'.
'y'+'ie'='yie'
'upp' inserted into 'yie' is 'YUPPIE'.
