Engineering Workforce and Visa Controversies
This chapter discusses the shortage of American engineering graduates and the implications of H-1B visa utilization, including a lawsuit against Yale by Asian families alleging discrimination in admissions. The conversation critiques the H-1B system while recognizing the contributions immigrant founders make to the economy, particularly in the startup sector. It also examines hiring dynamics in tech companies and the cultural implications of prioritizing social achievement over academic excellence.
