Why don't any Asians study non-STEM subjects?

I'm Asian, and all my relatives here and in my parents' home nation all study Stem degrees like medicine and engineering and maths. One studies business but that's about it. This also seems to be true for my Asian friends (there are quite a lot of us) at school as they all want to be doctors,engineers and programmers or accountants (not Stem but vocational anyway). Literally no one I know who is Asian wants to be studying philosophy or anthropology (if that's the right word) or economics or geography or English or anything like that. Why is this?

Honestly, if you don't go into medical, engineering, law, Finance, programming or any other respectable fields, you will considered as " stupid" by the Asian community.

Every asain I know studies a non-stem subject.

I know. I heard my parents talking about one of my distant relatives becoming "just a teacher" like that's some low level job. What's even weirder is that none of my parents are in a professional high-skilled job and don't have a degree at all, so they shouldn't really be complaining about others lol

It's good to go in to stem its actually useful to society

Money innit.

Our families are mostly aspirational, those careers pay well and are also quite respectable which is why we're encouraged to go into those fields.

In other fields, becoming rich is a bit hit-and-miss and in some cases, virtually impossible.

Because their parents would disown them if they did. Not even kidding.

I study (at a level) english lit, history, sociology and politics???????

Yeah but so is law, politics (working in UN) and economics (development, charity work) or teaching. Besides, most STEM students don't go on to change the world- most software engineers don't contribute anything to society really.
