Leadership is the most important to our community as far as what our educators think and that's why most of the people heading that direction. I just feel so sorry to our educators.

Unlike Hmong doctors in the medical field who have a ready market within the Hmong community, there is no real market for Hmong psychologists. Thus, they have to make a living in some other areas, in particular in community services as I have seen.

I have no idea why many Hmong would go into psychology when the job market is limited and the compensation is meager. Personally, I consider psychology an easy major as compared to engineering that pays 50-100% more and the accompanying opportunities are far greater. In addition to psychology, it appears that most Hmong choose easy majors such as anthropology, history, sociology, politics, education or other majors in the humanities. Of course, one should limit oneself to one's ability and pursue a career of one's interest. Yet, it just seems unwise to invest so much for a rather poor return. I know that some Hmong psychology graduates have a hard time finding a suitable job.

In my humble view, schooling is about making a living. One must then weigh between a profession of love and one that makes a good living. A profession of love that one cannot adequately make a living of is not a meaningful investment, at least for me anyway.

Diamond are you sure you want to be a psychologist? I see many things! Some people are beyond help.

It's so amazing how so many of you can keep these kind of conversation up. It is so sad to see that our hmong people can not differentiate culture from ritual (coj dab coj qhua). The young educated men and women refused to recognize and respect the older one and the elders; likewise the older ones and elders are blind to see how important the young men and women. When the two world clash, there can be no unity. Until we all recognized that there is no one clan better than the other and that white hmong is no better than green hmong (and vice-versa), then can we all live together and solve each other's problems. There are so many dissensions among us that no one is willing to listen. Those who are highly educated argue fervently that "because I am educated and I have my PhD, I am the leader. You need to follow me! and you need to call me Docter <you fill in the blank>. Or, I work with General Vang Pao and I deserve that respect!" It's so sad. Nothing last forever! Not even your money! Not even your life. The only thing love - not sexual love. It's the kind of love that you are willing to give and level yourself with someone who is less fortunate than you are. There are no demand in this kind of love. It comes from the purest heart. When that comes through, then those around you will follow. That is how you leave your legacy and lasting impression for those behind to follow. I'm young and that is what I see. I've seen enough fights between my relatives and clans. It's a sad thing.

MuajTxhuayam,

Welcome to Hmoob Advisor. You are absolutely correct! I had a group of multimillion dollars franchize business partners that very strong in builting moral, family value, character, dignity, honesty and every one are fighters. Forget about Hmong high educators for now because after they finished their education, they are in to depts and they can't even help others, not even their own family. Most of them return to the community and our elders look at them so highly but as they are moving up front they show no dignity, moral, family value, character, and dignity. Inside, they still a liar to themself most of the times. And later, everyone practice polygammy and play with others spouses and create a family community trauma that is so significant that no one ever believe in them again. This circle of trauma repeated itself over and over again. If we don't stop this circle of trauma in our community, we are screw big time. We Hmong need to really wake up and discipline ourself no matter what the outcome are. I mean honest!! to ourself, families and relatives. Put ourselve to their level and speak to them with character, dignity, and honesty because we eat, shit, and wipe the same. Do not point fingers and start to change yourself with the group that had moral, character, dignity, honesty, value and they are fighters.


Thanks for sharing your opinion and if you want to no more of my business group, please email me at Hmoobadvisor.com and I would be happy to share with you or any Hmoob friends.

I think it's unfortunate that a majority of the people who posted a blog regarding Hmong psychologists lack ability to provide insight into what the requirements are to become a liscensed psychologist. Psychology is not as easy as most lay people tend to think. Just because you take an intro psych class doesn't mean that you know everything there is to know in the pyschology field. It takes a lot of training, educating, and studying in order to become a successful liscensed psychologist. Most people are uneducated and misinformed about the effects of untreated mental health issues, especially in a traditional Hmong family. I so happen to be enrolled in an APA accredited university and am expected to earn my doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology in the Fall, and I was surprised to see how many people are still so unfamiliar and mis-educated about the psychology field. It's unfortunate that people still feel that way because we are the younger generation, and it's expected that we should be able to open doors for those who follow us, considering that Hmong people in general, have so much resistance with mental health disorders as it is. It is real and it exists. We should not deprive ourselves or our loved ones of such services due to our own resistance and lack of education towards clinical psychology, and the mental health services that are much needed for our community. People should not suffer because of ignorance. We are given educational opportunities in order to advance ourselves professionally, educationally, personally, regardless of the field we choose to enter. Please do not knock something down until you, yourself have been given the opportunity to try it. It's so much easier to do all the talking in the world, however, it takes so much more courage to take action and follow through with what an individual is passionate about.

I agree with you. It requires additional education and experience, just like someone who wants to be a Doctor, Surgeon, or Lawyer. Mental health is becoming a growing need in today's high-stress society. I think a lot of people could benefit from it.
