TONS of Asians used to come here for post HS and graduate education, but not so much now.
They STILL focus on education.
My eighteen y.o. Filipino nephew is in 1st year college for engineering.
Mama and Papa both indoctrinate him with, "You will have all the time., money and talent to get the most beautiful girl, expensive house and car AFTER you get your degree and a high paying job."
Melvin Saint obeys Papa and Mama.
My parents raised me the same way. Education and a strong work ethic are some of the keys to success.
I raised my kids the same way.
I’m trying to slow down my 21 year old. He is finishing his Bachelor’s and wants to go to law school. His girlfriend never went to college and is only interested in being his girlfriend and eventually his wife.
I told him not to fish in that pond until he was an attorney with a good paying job and get a prenuptial agreement.
“They STILL focus on education.”
Yes but not much on wealth-building, not that they are mutually exclusive.
My Vietnamese dentist, and his fellow immigrants were all raised with the same values. They raise their own children the same way; sometimes it takes, sometimes it doesn’t.
