just because someone is not a scientist or a doctor doesnt make them unsuccessful theres plenty of dominican families especially in new york or in mass that own their own business and become successful from it..i feel that the next generation of dominicans are only going to enhance their social status
Just look at Lawrence Massachusetts!

All this time I thought those were American institutions.
Corruption doesn't have a colour. I know several young Dominican Americans that have become doctors, pilots, and engineers in the USA, however that may not be somebodies definition of success.
I want Dominicans to succeed but I disagree with the numbers. The numbers aren't necessarily higher since there are other Spanish speaking groups with a higher population. It's also broken down into age groups.
This is as of the last census. the current census is under way.

I don't necessarily agree with those numbers either but hey let's hope our generation is trending
upwards.

yeah..tell them you have a two year degree from Hostos, and they point you to the mail room.
My primary care physician in NJ is Dominican.
He graduated from Universidad Autonoma de Santo Domingo.

You are very right Derfish. I was referring to white collar jobs. A while, all you needed was a high school diploma to be an administrative assistant for example. Times have changed, many admin have at least a bachelor, some have Master degrees.
True but the job has changed a lot over the years and a wide range of computer related skills are required, database management, spread sheet development, scheduling, assembling professional quality visual presentations and even in some cases web site design and maintenance. Today's Admin Asst. is a key component of unit success.
There are many well paid white collar positions available to people with associate degrees and as one who has been on the hiring side of the interviews for decades, these days one's certifications and task specific training will take them as far as they wish to go depending on their experience. A degree beyond the minimum qualifications of a job won't open any doors for a prospective employee but they will keep doors at successive levels of opportunity from slamming shut in their faces where open competition comes into play.
I have an Associate in Electronics. I have worked in Miami, PA, Mass, Long Island. no problems switching jobs.
I work as Unix support engineer. In 99 worked in a Y2K research/validation project along side two PHDs from Australia and
Malaysia. Right now studying for Red Hat certification and for 10 or 20K bump in pay. In some fields work experience is
more important than education
Technology workers are paid in accordance with the level and variety of job specific technologies they have mastered. Those technologies are applicable everywhere, all over the world. The problem with the Tech industry is that at the top of every food chain you will usually find some bean counter who's about as technical as a bowl of rice.
For years I've been trying to acquire an advanced degree in tigueraje (even to the point of sporting a corbata), in order to better my station in life, but to no avail. The odds are stacked against me: Uncle Sam turns me down; State and city agencies ignore me; private institutions laugh at me; Federal contractors don't even waste their time; and Wal-Mart won't hire an avowed Communist and Chic-fil-A hates my contempt for Christianity and all forms of cultish nonsense.
So, these days I just grab a beer and sing along to Warren Zevon's Poor Poor Pitiful Me

listen puerto ricans have their way of pronouncing words and so do cubans and so do mexicans i dont know were your from but im pretty sure that people from barrios of whatever country your from have their way of pronouncing words,just like every latin country,in spain not every one speaks the same with a lisp,in the caribe puerto rico,cuba and the d.r get most of the way they speak from the canary islands thats why carribeans speak different then the others,and not all dominicans have that dominican slang and just like not all puerto ricans speak with the extended j replacing the r in words
