[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for one such agency. We hire almost exclusively out of the very top schools. Those schools are still, sadly, mostly white. That's your answer right there. [/quote] Asians are a significant minority (so much so they are discriminated against) at the very top schools. Your answer is crap. The answer is the pay is horrible but the work can be interesting. It's the same issue in the front offices of sports and other 'self-actualizing' careers - art, museum work, etc. Wealthy families more often than not are white (asians have good income, but asian wealth in this country isn't comparable to white wealth due to generational factors) and these families can afford to underwrite their children pursuing self-actualizing 'dream' jobs.
