Anything besides "Education" to Asian parents are considered unnecessary.

DO YOU AGREE??

 

[Newbie]

no wtf

 

[Huy]

I agree, but it is more along the lines of:

'You have to be a doctor' with a UAI of 99 LOL

This should have a poll

 

[deyveed]

Yup. Asian parents usually want their kids to become doctors, pharmacists, dentists and optometrists with UAIs of 99.
I know a friend who is really stressed at the moment about pleasing his parents and consequently repeated to get a better UAI.

 

[Huy]

Don't forget the solicitors.

 

[Toodulu]

absolutely not. can we please stop stereotyping asian parents and whatnot. bloody hell

Sterotyping people is bad, thats one of the reasons why we have war.

No l do not agree, just because you may know of a couple of Aisan parents who are like that doesn't mean that they all are.

I am discusted that some could post a thing like this. Next they will all be talking about the Aboriginals

Well, my mum didn't either until she heard about it ... on the radio.

 

[Newbie]

my parents asked if i considered actuary as a uni option

i showed her my abysmal maths ranks and we never talked about it since

 

[deyveed]

Hehehe I guess any Asian parent would want their kid to do a degree with a high UAI cutoff and come out with a high income profession.

Hmm...I dunno. I guess people can joke about it because it is a pain they know well.
