Reply to "HOW CAN INDIANS BECOME MORE ASSERTIVE WITH AFRICANS IN GUYANA ?"

Let's be honest, most parents in Guyana NEVER set out to have their children  join the forces, there are far better choices. It's better to be a teacher, a nurse, an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer etc., last on the ladder is being a soldier. So many Indians were able to choose a more desirable and less risk occupation. Having said that, it does not mean the Afros did not want better for their children but it is an economic thing/affordability.

 I have two children, I spent a lot to educate them. Today one is a Doctor and the other is a Lawyer in the US. I told them to go and earn NEW money and don't expect much when I die. The Doctor along with two others are building a start-up company, they already have investors offering millions to join, it's an app. for hospitals and doctors to benefit.

 What I am trying to say, as parents give guidance to your children at a young age and when the become teens they will make the right choice, teach them well.

You might find this hard to accept but there are many Afros with similar or better success stories. For whom is soldier last on the ladder? There are many people for whom it is first on the ladder.
