It is a known fact (among Arabs), and a famous Archetype, that the Arab parent wants their child to be one of two things, and to be the very best at those two things compred to everyone else: either a doctor, or an engineer (in arabic= ya'imma doctor aw muhandis). so they put a lot of money in that direction, as well as time, sweat, and evil genius; they will even resort to psychological torture and/or extortion (e.g. me), to get their children to conform to their dreams, rather than respect their children's dreams and desires.
however, 99% of the time, the parents will fail to make an engineer or doctor out of their children; instead, one of three things will happen: either the child gives them the middle finger/ or compramises and fulfills his dreams for him/herself (e.g. me), conform to the parents ridiculous notions, or the most common, say: "f*** it, I'm never going to be good enough for them. I'll just forget education". tragically, the third option is often the most common. As a result, those who fulfill their own true desires will be shunned from society as "infidels", "traitors", or "failures", those who do conform will, 99% of the time, suck at being doctors/engineers, and the rest will lack the necessary and proper skills to either support the doctor/engineer caste, or to do whatever they end up doing well; from here we see the azhar "scholars", wahhabis, the shi3a, the suicide bombers, crooks, garbage men, and mechanics. they will often be illiterate, uneducated, and without anything to go on besides their faith, which they interpret poorly, as a result of the lack of said education. of course, they will go on to try and make "engineers" and "doctors", so that their children can avoid their fate, only to repeat the cycle all over.
