They shut-up when you beat them.

What the hell, your cousin has an art degree? And is asian? How did they ever allow that to happen?

Dunno, our families just seem to think

Going to college = instant good thing.

the problem with you is that you still give a fuck about what your parents say/want. seriously get over that shit and do what you want.

>>7219857

But thats how we asians are

Dishonor famiry etc

Most Asian parents would murder their kids for getting an art degree. Your family sounds atypical, honestly. Same with your cousin who has a science degree who is not using it. She would probably get ostracized for not putting her degree to use and wasting all that college money.

>give into cultural "responsibilities"

thats cool bro. enjoy your unfulfilled life

I guess we are a bit atypical.

Basically you would get ostracized if you didnt go to college. So the fact that they went to college seems to make it A-OK

It seems more parents just like to say to their friends what year their kids are in college etc.

I only have one cousin the family who didnt go to college and everyone still someone looks down on him and sees him as a bad influence even though he seems happy as fuck.

I mean seriously we have another cousin who my family kisses the ass of but he is a mega fucking cheapskate, family gatherings he comes in empty handed, actually not empty handed, the fucker brings his own take away boxes to take food home.

But my other cousin who they all look down on is family as fuck and at least bring shit over like cakes and the family always seem to get him to go out and pick shit up from places such as food

Asian here, majoring in visual communication.

Yes, Asian parents think college = promise of wealth. This is because they expect their kids to be hard working individuals, not retarded subhumans.

>my cousins fiance did some lolart degree and basically got shit all out of it

I see other Asians in my classes that will probably end up like him, talentless motherfuckers that does nothing to compensate for their lack of ability. They probably entered their majors thinking its easy mode.

Lol, wrong, that's how all 1st generation immigrants are.

My family is Jamaican, I'm part of the 2nd generation of my family in america. The 1st generation pretty much expects every one to go to college and they do their best to decide your degrees for you. I wasted a whole summer of my life arguing with my parents and showing them how much I did not want a business degree and ended up having to do it for the first year of college anyway and sucked hardcore before they finally listened to me and let me change it. Looking back I could have done better if I wasn't such a whiny bastard, but it really sucks to know what you want to be doing and instead be stuck doing something terribly disinteresting.

Also, most of my friends are also 2nd gen. immigrants of various countries and it's all the same. You are NOT unique, and that attitude is not unique to Asian families, try getting some exposure. That is just the common belief of immigrants coming to America, when they see the power of an education they hold it as the highest achievable ideal in America. Look for 2nd and 3rd generation Asian households... are they as strict about an education as your parents are??? No, they resemble most 2nd generation households... where everything is about doing what you love and enjoying yourself. I'm not a sociology major or anything but this is pretty obvious stuff... you just lack the balls to confront your parents about it.

Face it... your parents are stronger individuals than you and you don't have their respect. All immigrants treat their kids this way, you're just too ego-centric to see that. Don't give in to the stereotypes retard.

+1

This is why people of other races think all Asians are fucking pussies. Man the fuck up and stop making us look so bad.

My family thinks you're a failure if you're not a specialized medical doctor. Like GI/anest/plastic/derm, etc.

If you do something and make more money I"m sure it's fine though.

Nope.

Parents spent 100 grand for me to go to college and told me "just do what makes you happy."

I majored in poli-sci and now I'm a cab driver.

I'm half asian. The asians in my family do put a lot of emphasis on money, but then so do a lot of white families, if not most.

The art degree thing is weird though. My family wants all of their kids to go into engineering and medicine. One of my relatives majored in sociology and got into a decent graduate school, but everyone in my family thinks he's going to end up dirt poor and eating from a soup kitchen or something.

It's not that simple. You have to network to get that good job and even then it may be a entry-level job.

Also there's something called interships.

Asians are all about social image. You NEVER see parents of Asian children who didn't make it to college brag about their son/daughter's achievements, because in the eyes of others, it's a disgrace, even if they did make something of their lives. This is especially true if the parents themselves came from some nameless shanty, and they only want what's best for their kids.

Asian here.
My oldest bro has an MD. He's a general practice doctor.
My next oldest bro has some college degree. he's a software programmer.
My next oldest bro has an MD and is a doctor.
I have a BS, MS, and PhD in Comp Sci, and I'm a computer scientist.

So, basically, yes, the Asians are right.
