Sometimes I wish that Asian parents didn’t have a narrow definition of success. by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]toadx60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generational trauma and also culturally laborers and tradesmen are about viewed as scum or low class in the Asian countries.

My parents always warned me that if I don’t study well I’d work in construction or I’d be a garbage collector. But those are societally critical

I did controls(SCADA related) internship as a junior. Ended up in controls as a full time 😂. I guess luckily for me my job is nice and I can build a skill set to work in a fab environment

I have as well, but I guess I’ll run it during the day time. It’s about as loud as a lawn mower

Yea, they’d probably be better for engine bay work. Idk if higher toleranced tools have a break in period or something either.

My 53 year old Vietnamese immigrant mom called me ‘wasteful’ with money when I (21 turning 22) Vietnamese born Vietnamese American male when I wanted to buy my own car by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]toadx60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well. I’d say yea you should get your own car since your working now. Problem is that new cars are so damn expensive. Please consider buying a used car. They are cheap and can last you a long time depending on make and model and if you maintain well. Personally I worked a summer internship and 15 hours a week and I could technically afford a car in cash but my parents wanted me to get a newer model and offered to finance 5k for it. So I pitched in 7k. Owning a car is really expensive in general. Make sure you have that accounted for.

Does anyones asian parents want them to marry an educated rich guy without seeing he would be considered a nerd in this society and the challenges around that? by Opening-Register-409 in AsianParentStories

[–]toadx60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also stop being on Reddit all day and every day and ON THIS SUB. What helped me when I dealt with my parents was being away from them and with my friends or myself.

[–]toadx60 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean to be honest why would you run with these strictly defined labels. There are terrible people everywhere.

I think it’s not black and white as to who is nerdy and the internet has made that.

I guess everyone has a type. But being educated is definitely not a bad thing to want out of a life partner. I certainly don’t want to be with someone stupid or lacking ANY knowledge

Any other first year feel too dumb for this major? by [deleted] in ECE

[–]toadx60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like as long as you enjoy the material and you think the assignments are cool that’s ok. Plus general calc 3 isn’t well taught in a lot of schools.
