  > tomorrow’s startup founder, CEO, CTO or 10x contributor in large tech company Do we need more of those? We need plumbers and people that know how to build houses. We are completely full on founders and executives.

    We might not, but Nvidia would certainly like it.

    If they're already an "enthusiast, grad student, hacker", are they likely to choose the "plumbers and people that know how to build houses" career track? True passion for one's career is rare, despite the clichéd platitudes ecouraging otherwise. That's something we should encourage and invest in regardless of the field.
