ExtraEmily’s dad doesn’t think she’s successful because she dropped her financial engineering degree to pursue streaming. “what was your major when you were in college? Financial engineering and what are you doing now… and you call that a success?”

dad is not wrong and everyone in the chat knows it

Older Asians tend to gage success on contribution and achievement rather than money. And honestly being a streamer that essentially pretends to be a retard, is like 1 or 2 steps up from making the same money doing Only Fans

so dangerous to let others define what success means to you. Particularly those brought up in a completely different generation.

It's pretty sad to realize that somebody could go to college and get their PHD Etc and yet all she has to do is act like a retarded 3-year-old and Bam she's good to go

She just gotta show him her bank account and he’ll take back what he said lmaooo

Based dad. The only reason she's "successful" is because she's Dirty Dan's favorite e-girl and she collects money from a bunch of lonely simps who are quite possibly not even using their own money.

“Financial Engineering” gotta be a made-up discipline

Bums thinks a little money means success, dad knows

Dad just knows once age kicks in it’s over

My interpretation of this is that dad wants her to have a stable career, not just a lucrative one. A porcelain bowl may be pretty and expensive but it breaks easily, while a metal bowl can survive hardships much more easily.

That’s a real father right there It sucks to hear the truth but he’s right You need something to fall back on when that streaming shit gets old

This is a normal conversation with asian parents. hahahahah. In my country, if you cant be an engineer, be a nurse. Choose 1 . hahahahah

Real father...this generation is really fukk..hope the world ends soon

You could literally hear the sarcasm in his voice 😭🙏🏻

your kid making a millions and questioning weather or not they are successful. who the fuck is he to judge her like that. She deserves a better father. What a narrow minded peasant he is. He's a successful peasant and fearful of anything he doesn't understand. How sad for them.

The father isnt wrong. People in this day and age think money and status defines success. If she had pursued the degree shed be contributing to society much more than just streaming all day. We cant judge success by money and status when the kardashians exist and all the rest.

She’s doing great tho

Never forget that her parents paid for her to go to college to get a degree, didn’t take school seriously and dropped out to become a streamer. She never paid back her tuition to her parents.

Boomer mentality. 90% of people get a degree to get a better job and more money, for financial engineering it is probably 99.9%. Meanwhile she is earning millions doing something that is way better than a 9 to 5, she is mega successfull.

Older generations dont understand that people can make money online

She gotta show him her bank account

I find it rather odd how, in some way, regardless of the money, regardless of the internet "fame", regardless above all else, she turned out to be quite the disappointment. Maybe it's the whole fact that this girl was educated AF, but quickly trashed it right after.

Success to parents would’ve been having a respectable career, married, and having children. Now she’s a rich jester to kids and will be alone for the rest of her life.

He’s obviously watched her stream

Based dad. Streaming is a retarded career.

He has a different vision of what someone should prosper for in life. Emily is obviously very successful in her career. And even if we take money out of the equation she has impacted and continues to impact to many people in a positive way. But really truly what matters is whether she's happy DEEP DOWN right?! idk I'm just a streamer.

I mean, if he want to got that route I’d say financial engineering isn’t as successful as he thinks, be a carpenter or a farmer or something that is useful anywhere in any situation, even if society falls, what good is financial engineering on a desert island…

destroyed her and hes right

She could've been a Quant.

for me that's success, to make millions, be able to travel the world, play games, have fun with your friends, instead of working in a bank or hedge fund office with stress and potentially losing your job to competition, AI, market changes...

first, pursue a high-income route, then pursue what ever it is you want after. If streaming solidifies your income, that always comes first.

Not all Asian parents are like this. Good take from dad but if I showed my Asian parents the bread I was pulling in, they’d be like holy fuck this retard made it

She makes way more than a financial engineer

Dads a fuckin asshole who knew lol
