I've noticed that a lot of Asians that go to college take courses leading to a skill....dentist...engineer...medical doctor...architect....they don't seem to take liberal arts courses in the hope of getting some iffy job somewhere.....

IOWS....they go into careers that require extra study and work but also are guaranteed to pay better...

An Indian friend of mine at an Indian wedding explained why everyone there had at least one if not two doctorates. She said that the degrees are their tickets out to a better life. The infrastructure of most Asian countries makes it difficult to gain wealth, and keep it. Instead degrees allow you to move around. Reminds me of mid 20th century Jews
