[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  We are Indian-American.   I would say it is an absolute must for my DS.

Perhaps OP is White, but we have to always include racism and bias in our calculus at all times. My kid is not going to be given handouts and he is not networked. Whatever he gets in life, he will get only because he is exponentially better than others. So yes, internships, independent projects, research etc...everything counts and is essential.

On my team of 30 developers, 3 are US born non-Indian and non-Asian (2 AA, one white).   One is Iranian, one is Sudanese, one is Korean.  The rest are Indian or Pakistani (i.e. not born in US). All are US citizens (US federal contractors).

TBH, Indian/Pakistani is somewhat the default.  [/quote]

Why do you think that is?  Are white kids just late to the game (i.e. just now getting com sci degrees, whereas the Indian/Pakistani teammates you referenced were in comsci years ago?)  Seems like 90% of kids these days are going to college for comsci degrees (or IT).  When I read the college plans of schools like TJHSST, all I see are comsci degree kids.  I am starting to wonder if there are going to be any medical doctors in 10 yrs.[/quote]

Often they are paid much less....[/quote]
