The American Dream used to go something like this:arrive in this country for an unskilled job with small pay.Save and save until you open a small business——in recent years,a take-out restaurant or a dry cleaner.Buy a modest house in the suburbs.Send the children to college and hope they grow up to be doctors.In the past decades,that dream has changed.For many immigrants today,the new version of the dream goes more like this:arrrive in America for a high-tech job with good pay,invest and invest until you can open your own business.Buy a huge house in an exclusive suburb.And if you don't have an engineering degree?Work like crazy,get a tech-related job and invest a large part of your wages into stocks until you-don't wait for your kids-are rich.
