Careers 2001

Thirty-five years after immigration barriers to Asian Pacific Americans have been blown open, bringing waves of professionals to the United States, this community continues to dominate the hot industries and careers of the moment. While the big news in the past year has been the high-tech boom and bomb, AsianWeek takes a closer look at the range of career paths that Asian Americans are undertaking. We tracked down everyone from a 6th grade teacher to a kick-boxing instructor to a bioinformatics specialist to prove that Asian Americans are no longer pigeon-holed in the doctor/engineer track.
