Does it matter where you go to college? Should the SAT be abolished? Do you have to have a degree in computer science to work in tech? What are the differences between higher education in the US and in India? Why did Tom and Vivek ban Harvard and Stanford degrees from working at their first company?Even though both Tom and Vivek have – in their own words – fancy degrees themselves, they also acknowledge that they came into the job market when there were fewer graduates in computer science than there are today. So what do the thousands of freshly minted CS graduates need to know about becoming successful? As Vivek notes, sometimes all you need is an opportunity.Listen to the episode and read the transcript at superset.comsuper{set} Twitter: @supersetstudio, @ClosedSeshPodLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/superset-studio/Twitter: @tommychavez, @vsvaidya
