Some of the best programmers I know, particularly in the US are not even graduates or have arts/science degrees. Some of the confusion is due to the fact the run of the mill software job is not a 'computer science' job - it's a regular drone job. The problem with a lot of computer science graduates I have worked with is that they don't realize that a lot of what they regard as specialised knowledge has actually become commoditised. We are living in the age of the 'google' programmer -any moderately intelligent person can google around and find a solution to most problems. Of course this approach has it's consequences, but smart folks usually figure a way out. Computer science graduates could be less frustrated if they confined themselves to research of really niche areas. I made a slightly related post long back: http://cycle-gap.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_cycle-gap_archive.html ttm:

Nearly half of all recruitment takes place through word-of-mouth and employer referral. What about our own software industries? What the hell does a Metallurgy Engineer or Civil Engineer know about programming? Why are lakhs of them employed in the industry and nobody raises a crib?

I am not surprised at its content though. A lot of these schools try to keep the "white" culture in the school intact. But they also make sure (these days) that they have enough of other races/nationalities to make sure they are not accused of racism later on. It was in the earlier years, that reservation/discrimination was rampant in the US. Now only the remains of it are seen. Did you get my e-mail about Nehru's letter? Yeah…nice find that.
