[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I do agree with the PP though -- you are seeing burnout amongst the Indian-Am professionals in their late 20s-30s. They have spent so much time chasing what they SHOULD want, that they never pursued what they did want. Some of them are doing it now -- I now know more than one Indian-Am professional who is leaving medicine, law etc. to teach, open a business, go into the gov't/politics. Their parents are for the most part ok with it -- frankly they don't have much say over their 35 yr old but even so, many parents feel "satisfied" that their kid achieved in medicine/law/ibanking etc. and now has money stashed away so they can have an "easier" life/profession. So while they drive their kids hard when young, they don't expect or want them to be miserable forever just for money. "

A lot of these guys have girlfriends on the side and they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE strip clubs.[/quote]

I agree -- lots of girlfriends on the side, cheating etc. I don't know if that's due to burnout though; that may be due to "I married this person bc they were the exact right educational and social background and good enough for my family and my parents wanted me to, and now we don't have 2 words to say to each other -- for the rest of our lives but can't get divorced either." The burnout I'm seeing is leading to far more people just quitting their jobs without new jobs lined up as they travel, think about start-ups, businesses, teaching etc. -- all fine goals, just not what you would have expected from these same people 10 yrs ago.[/quote]
