The Education Gap

More and more people I talk to in different American cities, the same response I get. Most of the guys in the Pakistani community here are not very educated, are not ambitious, are waiting to inherit their dad’s gas station or small business, and run it as their own.

More and more girls I meet, I see we’re all going for post-grad education, we’re all getting degrees. Some for the purpose of fetching better rishtas. Some for the purpose of God forbid actually working.

I’m trying to look for a city in America where most of the guys are in a more professional path - they 're educated, they’re hard working, they’re getting schooled well.

Is it just me, or is the education gap between males and females increasing and leading to a social crisis possibly in the future where good educated American-raised Pakistani women will just continue having trouble finding good spouses because all the uneducated boys are tending to not take these ambitious women on as their wives?

If I’m wrong, I’ll be so happy if you can direct me to a city, where this trend is not the populat one amongst the males. Because I need to pack my bags and get the heck out of this place, because that’s all I see.

Re: The Education Gap

PCG, Pakistani guys here where we are at are either Software Engineers working great positions at leading corporations or Mechanical Engineers.

I think you know where I live...

Re: The Education Gap

Come to Toronto! Lots of ambitious guys here all over Bay St. (our Wall St.) and the banking sector.

Re: The Education Gap

let's see...almost everyone I know has a college degree, is either working towards MBA, CPA exams, masters' etc. I know maybe a few who haven't gone to college--but they still managed to do well, and it doesnt make them worse than anyone. it really depends on your circle and where you are. Here in NY--u find all kinds.

Re: The Education Gap

Re: The Education Gap

Seattle.

We have Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, TMobile, Costco, to mention a few major employers headquarters.

Then we have Eddie Bauer and Nordstrom headquarters as well …and yes, Starbucks.

So we have a whole bunch of young and ambitious Pakistanis over here. Just a few months ago, we met a young couple who told us that they are one of 40 software engineers who have come directly from Pakistan for employment here. Sharp dudes :hayaa:

Re: The Education Gap

I find that so odd..... most people here, and im in melbourne :), are very ambitious... if they havent gotten a professional job already, they are studying further


PCG what Niki forgot to add they are already taken ! :D***

Re: The Education Gap

Re: The Education Gap

Re: The Education Gap

Lol, there are very eligible bacherlors out there. I know one here and if i could, id marry him off to one of my best friends... but alas, the mum i think wants someone who is willing to stay with the inlaws.. which i dont think is too much to ask for

Re: The Education Gap

as a guy, I have the same impression of Pakistani girls... not enough ambition. just want to get married, stay at home and push out babies... I'm pretty sure there were next to no Pakistani girls in most of the tougher programs (engineering, CS, etc) at my school for a good number of years when I was there. and eventually the Pakistani girls that showed up were international students who started coming to Canada because going to the US became difficult post-youknowwhat.

ps. this is not a tit for tat response or a flame attempt... just my opinion... based on my admittedly limited observations.

Re: The Education Gap

This forum doesn't really attract the uneducated, so maybe viewpoints here are skewed.

PCG where I am right now people both abcd girl and boys are either engineers or doctors.And people are looking for educated girls.

Re: The Education Gap

Could it be that uneducated guys and educated girls get more 'attention' from you?

Re: The Education Gap

That is odd. All my Pakistani (male) friends have at minimum a masters and some are on the PHD.

Re: The Education Gap

Where the heck do you people live???

(And how is the public transportation there?)

I think many of you who live up north, just have more studious people in general. We have all the beach bimbos and bums.

So we have a whole bunch of young and ambitious Pakistanis over here. Just a few months ago, we met a young couple who told us that they are one of 40 software engineers who have come directly from Pakistan for employment here. Sharp dudes :hayaa:
