That's just it. I found his resume online and, from what I can see in his skills and experience at Tech, he should NOT be wasting his time in the SU Grad School for Engineering. Should be working on video games or pursuing advanced engineering degree from somewhere else.

If you are not an alter and really are black and have an engineering degree from any school, then the world is your oyster. Companies will hire you not for your engineering skills, but so that they can meet affirmative action quota's and brag about their minority hiring practices. You will have all the big companies fighting over you and making big offers. The downside is that all of your co-workers will assume you were hired because you are a minority instead of capable. You could be a black Albert Einstein and you won't get any respect. That, my friend, is the truth and it's sad, because all of your accomplishments will be tainted. That is the downside of affirmative action.

I can vouch now. He's legit. Just probably a bit naive, worried about future.

Yeah, he sounds incredibly insecure. I don't know much about the program, but I do know LA Tech is a great school. Why didn't he pursue a Masters there?

I am not naive. I made the best decision given the choices that I had. I have a goal that I am aiming to achieve, and SU is helping me to reach it.
