I notcied myself being a AM that for exapmle i was at the dentist and my dentsit is chinese. he asked my what i did. i told him i was in college taking computers. YOu can tell in his face (oh u didn't make it look) and in most traditional old school chinese ppl that going to college is a no no.

Hi,
I was just wondering what is it like for an asian girl doing computer science. I mean...I hear so much about med this, med that but what about other majors? I'm a junior in computer science and i think i'll be in the "real" world pretty soon and i'm feeling weird. It's obvious that not many women major in computer stuff and much less asian women and that really scares me. Btw, if anybody knows about cal poly pomona...is it a good school for computer science?

Asians who think that it is stereotypical to get into scientific, medical, or legal fields, do not be hesitant.

Like it or not, we still do live with a minority status in this country and we need to consider into matter when it comes to choosing our careers.

There are carreers that can be biased, there are careers that are biased, and there are careers that aren't biased based on our minority status. Why do such categories exist? It is because some fields are subjective and some are objective.

Journalism, fine arts, and entertainment are subjective fields where one gets judged by who they are, not solely by the quality of their work. Numerous "judgement calls" get made inevitably and may work against us.

However, scientific, medical, and legal fields are relatively more objective than the above fields mentioned. In most times, there are definite, clear-cut set of answers and the work result is likely to be impartial.

This subject-object relationship is not fictitious and not exagerrated. Think about the recently changed SAT.

ETS added an essay section to bring leverage to native-born white Americans as the ESL Asians who were just recently immigrated outscore them. Such essays are strictly subjective so an evaluator can grade however one pleases. As the Asians persistently outscore whites in such standarized tests, they are getting themselves into top-notch universities, landing great jobs, being paid higher salaries, and ultimately achieving a respected higher socio-economic status in society. As we can see, the institutional racists will indeed interfere in the process to prevent it from happening.

With our superior intellect, we have the advantage to grasp and master more complicated, abstract, and so-called bookish, nerdy, and geeky skills that other people are dying to get into but can't because they lack the intelligence to compete with ones who are more intelligent than they are. So don't ask why do I have to be doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Ask, "Why not?"

My dream job would be a creative profession. I think I would enjoy being an inventor or composer for film.

Best advice, work 5-15 year for corporation, get experience, get out start a business of your own. Corporation no sure way to sucess, or move ranks, its a glass ceiling...

I'm a sales manager for a large financial corporation and I really enjoy it. My company makes diversity one of its key commitments -- we formerly had a chief diversity officer -- so I know that being a minority member will be seen as an asset and not a liability. Even at my progressive company, I see an absence of AA officers and "future officers" and I try hard to get younger people thinking about business. I can understand why the older generation did not pursue corporate management, but am sad that the younger generation doesn't go for the brass ring -- too many AA MBAs are in professional rather than managerial/executive capacities. Here are some tips for AA who want to be future corporate leaders:

1) Choose your company and location wisely. I relocated to the Bay Area and will not work for a company without a progressive diversity policy.

2) Network, network, network. Make a lot of friends. It helps if you're naturally outgoing because people skills are the most important part of management.

3) Be relevant to the company's core mission. If you're a brilliant programmer, work for a software company. If you're a logistics ace, work in retail/distribution. If you're a marketing whiz, work in consumer/luxury products. It isn't enough to be incredibly good; executives have to think of you when they think about the future of the company.
