Here are the top 5 reasons why Desi parents in the West want their offsprings to be a doctor:
4. Financial Stability ( Unless one has high-paid-insurance )
3. They will be busy studying to the extent they have no social life (son/daughter wouldn't even think about anything other than books :P )
2. When they are old, they can get free medical service, no need to worry about Medicaid :)
1. Easy to find a desi spouse
by the way, when I say doctor, i mean physician, by no means I mean doctors who have PhD (Poor hungry Doctors - Pira hua Dimaagh) , whose parents do not benefit except 3 and/or may be 5.

hehe,
wonderful topic !
PhD ku ipdi oru new definition aa !!
The Top reason is absolutely true, aim is not just desi spouse, but a Doctor spouse ...
World is materialistic, some ask dowry while some donot but demand the spouse to be Doctor/MBA/Engineer/CA ( should b rich in earning ability ) ....

Especially the part with the desi spouse
"My son is a doctor; he works in Ameerika"

@A.R.N.
I guess that monologue won't be catchy anymore at this economy...
probably there wont be monologue anymore, probably the dialogue would be...
"My son is a doctor; he works in Ameerika"
'How long is his visa valid, i read new president is kicking the immigrants out'
