I don't think you understand how different things are in the developing world. It took me 5 years and an international flight for them to the US just to make my parents understand the difference between pursuing a degree in CS and pursuing a degree in typing.

It's not that they are ignorant, it's a lack of exposure and also just tough circumstances that may make it seem unrealistic.

I totally understand the point he is making.

It's not necessarily easy to explain this concept to people living here in the US, unless they know someone who's made it work. The idea that a non-Doctor/Lawyer/Architect can make a decent life for themselves and provide for a family is only gradually catching on.
