I’m sure it is a DEI push but in my experience of the last 20 yrs.... all the young dentists are ladies of Pakistani or Indian or Asian descent. I imagine a dentist is a “good” job from a 1st generation immigrant perspective. It wouldn’t be wrong but it’s not anything my teenagers and their friends discuss studying.

You make an interesting point. A few years ago I visited a university engineering department. On one wall was a group photo of all the petroleum engineering students. There were around 40 of them.
Two guys looked like Westerners. All the rest looked Indian or Chinese. Does that mean anything? I guess it depends on what the Indian and Chinese students are planning to do after graduation.
