Astounding to see racism and ignorance represented as virtue signaling so blatantly!
Are you aware that the majority of STEM seats in Indian colleges are set aside for either affirmative action for ‘lower’ castes (itself an arbitrary criteria) and women?
The average man in India is competing for approx 10% of college seats!
And saying an Indian STEM degree is worth millions in lifetime earnings reveals even more ignorance - outside of a handful of colleges, the India higher education system is considered woefully inadequate, underfunded, pumping out graduates who only succeed out of personal initiative.
Every major corporation in India essentially has a retraining program to actually teach what’s necessary for work. The worker training issue is one of the top challenges faced by businesses there.
Perhaps it’s time you described your own ethnicity and background etc. Let’s learn a little more about where your biases flow from.
If you actually grew up in India in the time period of the OP, or knew anything about it other than nonsense in woke
publications, you would feel ashamed for your tone and envy and render a sincere apology to the OP.

> The backward castes of South Asia, known as Dalits, form 1.5% of all Indian immigrants to the United States
Calling me ignorant and a passive aggressive "forgive you" without actually addressing my comment isn't "kind".
GP came here with a stem degree worth millions of dollars in lifetime earnings , NOT $30 in pocket ( which was used as a proof of "not privileged" )
Grossly misrepresenting oneself and denying privilege is not kind.

Degree helps you at the beginning of the career
After you have exp and knowledge
It becomes less and less relevant
It is impossible to predict value of degree
Just like the value of connections
