But you earn more money with sc2 plus in BW you actually only have good salaries if you are really good. But I think it is easier to become a very good competitor in sc2 as in BW, since the skill level in BW is already very very high. you dont get a salary with sc2 at all, unless your at a foreign team but yeah sc2 is kind of the easier game, so if they are trying to make a living they should try sc2 | ||

It's kind of like Go houses... it likes school for StarCraft players. You would try it for a bit to see if you like it and feel like you have any potential to do it. A parent might see it as a way to get it out of a manchild's system 'I'll pay for this long, if you succeed great, if not, you do what I tell you to do and get a job/real education.' Or in other words, give it your best shot and if you can't beat courage, you'll at least know you tried your best. That's how I imagine it. Asians get a wrap about being super hardworking and parents being super unforgiving, and to an extent I suppose that must be true, but I think it's truer for Asian immigrants than it is for Asians living in their own countries. I read some studies that compared parental relationship between children and their parents, comparing Americans, Asian Americans, and Asians, and the results showed the most conflicts with Asian Americans. It fits with the literature and media I get from Asian countries too, since the parents are often depicted as pretty considerate and liberal compared to what we generally perceive as the Asian American parent's attitude. There's a sensitivity that looks like authoritative parenting style rather than authoritarian. | ||
