Silicon Valley Mindset

 While reading the first few chapters of Wendy Liu's, she explained how silicon valley is a place where the only thing that matters is the results of the work you put in. Either it takes you 40,50,60 or 70 hours in a week, the only thing that anyone pays attention to is the end result. With this in mind, I thought about why people seem to love Silicon Valley and continue to want to get a job there. It is still considered the dream job location for loads of people. I came to the realization that our school system is geared in nearly the exact same way as Silicon Valley. At school, the only thing that really matters towards completing your degree is the grade that you get at the end of your course. The process to complete assignments and exams is often overlooked by professors and future employers, as they are only looking at your grade to determine how good of a student you are. Students spend different amounts of hours on their assignments and exams, but as long as they have the knowledge necessary to get the job done, the actual number of time is meaningless. 

Knowing that the way school is orchestrated is kind of similar to silicon valley's mindset, do you think we are being conditioned to want to work in that environment? Do you want to work in Silicon Valley and why?
