“How many U.S. citizens graduate from college each year with a degree in software engineering or computer science? “
That’s a bullshit requirement and threshold.
ALL of the best tech workers I’ve worked with, and I have worked with the best in the world, had no degree whatsoever. And many didn’t have a HS diploma.
But in India you can read a tech manual and buy a degree for $5k.
I agree. My son (18) and his friends have HS diplomas and these kids can program better than I can (but I am retired and don't do much anymore...)...
