</hijack> sorry to hijack this thread for a minute, but I feel like I have to. Taualumna, I find that your comments about immigrants and the relationships between immigrant parents and their children are a little off- color. I come from a family of immigrants. My family moved here from Russia when I was 7 and a half. We literally had $2 to our name. I went to private schools for 8 years of my life and am in a private college now. Everything that I have, my parents had to work hard for. They never told me that I had to go out and go to a certain school and major in a certain field so that I could get a high-paying job and support them. The school I go to, is not the one that they would have wanted me to go, but they're fine with my choice. They always ask me if I'm happy with my major and if I want to switch it to something that interests me more. The reason I'm saying this is because I feel like you don't fully understand the dynamic of an immigrant family in America. We don't all tell our kids how they should live their lives. </end hijack>
