[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up with poor Asian immigrant parents who spoke little English. The difference between Asian and Latino culture is that Asian parents understand the critical role higher education plays in upward mobility. For Asian parents attending college is not enough - you must earn a STEM degree from a prominent university. This is called “tough love” in our culture. Although it was rough growing up (working through HS/college, growing up in crime riddden hoods, etc) I’m thankful my parents kept me focused which enabled me to become independent wealthy and retire at age 50. [/quote] This is pretty typical stories for Asian families (Far East Asian families anyway). Focus on education, work hard and stay together until you are over the humps. [/quote]
