    Default What major did your parents push you to study in college?

    Were ur parents pushy at all in regards to what major to pursue in college? Or did they mostly want to leave the choice entirely up to you.

    I remember back in my end of senior year of high school days my parents wanted me to pursue a career in the electronics engineering field but I really wasn't into it. I would've much rather studied something else such as Art History, Photography, or Genetics.

    Well, my parents didn't really push me into anything but they told me "Your grandfather's a doctor, nobody in the family lived up to his name, he would be happy if you were to become one", but here I am, studying engineering

    I've always thought that being a doctor might have been cool, but my parents where all like "There's too many damn doctors in the world; it's too common of an occupation these days". And I was like "What the f*". I didn't really think so though because becoming a doctor does require a fair amount of intelligence and not everyone will fit that profile of high level of academic and intellectual sustenance. Like for instance some people are born to be the type who prefers working at a desk, while others mostly prefer working on their feet. Certain prefer scientific fields, and others artistic fields.

    Btw if you don't mind me asking, what field of engineering studies are you enrolled in? For me personally I've always thought robotics engineering if there is such a thing was pretty cool.

    Chemical engineering, I like chemistry, and I'm quite good at it as well.

    According to this other member on another forum whose gotten the chance to visit many different tech companies in America and whose also seen payroll information... he states that there are some clear patterns that he's seen over and over at every campus he's visited in regards to 'Race = Role/dept' patterns he's observed.

    I'm quoting him directly below:
    Whites = Management, sales, Finance/accounting, engineering dept manager/ Lab supervisor
    Indians = overrepresented in the same roles as whites. They are overrepresented because there are way more of them in these roles than what their American population level should suggest.

    East Asians (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, but also Vietnamese and Chinese-Indonesians)= overall I see them in engineering roles, technician roles, sales, and Finance/accounting positions, but I rarely see them in positions of leadership.

    Hispanics: Technicians, maintenance (like HVAC guys), Janitors, food workers at the campus cafeteria. This is always the case. If you call maintenance to fix something, they will always be Mexican. Because of the nature of my job, I tend to work very late hours at these campuses. I see who works as janitors, and it's ALWAYS some late 30's old Hispanic lady who is short, and predominately mesoamerican. Security guards also tend to be either a younger Male hispanic or a brutish older Hispanic female.


    Africans Americans: Rarely do I see and African American working at a tech company in any role. They simply aren't there.


    Africans Immigrants: I do see a few Ethopians and Nigerians working at these companies, but I tend to see them more often at the Biotech firms. It's obvious when someone is from Africa vs. African American. It's hard to explain.



    South East Asians: I rarely see any South East Asians at the tech firms. I see them at the Biotech firms sometimes, but that's it. I have seen South East Asian names on the Payroll rosters who have "good" positions, but 95% of the time, they are almost always Chinese in appearance.

    I am the only darkskin or native South East Asian that I have ever seen in a higher level professional role.


    Gender Differences: I have noticed other patterns as well. Asian and white females usually dominate the Accounting department. these are the ugly women, and they can be really bitchy. When I walk in the HR department, I can tell almost right-away. The most beautiful women always work in the HR department. They are always young, beautiful, easy to talk to, and welcoming. This is where you can find some beautiful Hispanic and Asian women as well. Of course the blondes and brunette whites are there too. In the Sales department, you will sometimes find porno-hot white women. I can imagine that they would be very effective at selling things.

    Gender Differences in engineering: There is only one type of women that I consistently see in engineering. The archetype= an Indian Women, who darkskinned, bad hair, dresses poorly, and is generally very ugly. She is usually a competent at her job though. The other one is the ugly Chinese girl with black horn-rimmed glasses

    I think the key thing that I have seen is the over-representation of Indians (male and female) in leadership roles. Sure, at more than a few tech campuses, Indians tend to dominate, but why are there so many in leadership roles? I think it's because Indians are strong people, and they are also very smart. East Asians are smart people, but they are socially very weak. They don't have any balls, and they are too introverted.

    My boss is Indian and she doesn't take any shit from anyone. Above her is your standard white guy, and Above him is an Indian Male.

    Yeah, but people get into IT field through engineering colleges, so they have to clear the engg entrance exams

    lol at that quote
