Welcome to Episode 2 of Season 2!
You’ve probably heard of the 4 standard career paths that most Asians shoot for? It is usually along the lines of Science & Engineering, Medicine, Business, or Law. We fit into that mold pretty well -- Candice is currently an Engineer in a tech start-up, whereas Jake is in a lab for a science startup. (Because Bay area and all their startups, am I right?) But did we always aspire to get into these stereotypical “Asian” careers? Did our parent’s expectations shape our career paths? Do we even like our current career path? Let’s find out!
