Interestingly, from what I've seen desi parents at least tend not to mind this. Not sure how it is with other communities, but Indians still lend a lot of prestige to the title of "doctor" and see simply having the title/education as a pretty big deal, and don't really care that you're only financially settled much later on. Americans tend to care more about the financial aspects and are less focused on the degree itself.
I'm of course generalizing very broadly here.
