Abstract:

Chris will discuss the general nature of graduate courses and research, whether to stay where you are or branch out, the opportunities obtained and costs incurred both during and after completion of a degree, and why Google isn't the only reason he's glad he went all the way with it.

While getting a graduate degree is not for everyone, finding out more about it is.  The decision to either obtain a graduate degree or go straight into industry is a difficult one, but like all decisions, it can be made easier with more data.  Plus, there's food.

Chris is currently a Software Engineer at Google, Inc.
