Interesting story. I once visted an old dilapidated house in Port Arthur which housed FIVE families of Vietnamese. They were saving their money to 1) pay cash for houses (they hate interest!) and 2) send their kids to school.

Every single one of those kids wound up in life sciences (medicine), engineering, or computer science.

Same thing with the Vietnamese I know, except they had just their own family. However, they worked minimum wage jobs during the day, went to school at night, and also did piece-work welding at home. They saved their money for about 3 years and paid cash for their house.
