In what scenario would anyone get to skip medical school? Or are you saying they can't get a job with a Harvard degree? Or maybe they don't get promoted?

I am saying that East Asians get funneled into detail-oriented jobs that are about learning highly complex skills that are well paid.

Other people who go to Harvard can get into bullshit-oriented jobs that outpay the jobs East Asian Harvard grads get by more than East Asian Harvard jobs outpay the average American.

For instance,

"As of 2015, less than 2% of Fortune 500 CEOs are Asian, although they comprise 5.6% of the total United States population, and about 30% of the graduates in the top 20 MBA programs in the last 20 years."

Thanks for clarifying,that sucks! Society should really get rid of this had practice where individuals are always seen through a "race" lens.
