    As a contrary point, I just barely survived my first semester of CS grad school (full time on campus UIUC) while working part-time. Keep up the grind!

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience as a part-time grad student working full-time! My educational path and focus is very different from yours but the schedule you shared with us looks a lot like my day-to-day. I'm a part-time undergraduate senior who has worked full-time for my entire educational journey and I'm thinking about grad school options. I'm "non-traditional" (read: old) so I need to stay on track for retirement and continue working, but part-time grad school paid as I go is something I can still keep open as a possibility. I enjoy being a student and don't really want to stop at my BS. Thank you so much for the inspiration! And congratulations on making it through your first semester!

    I love your videos! I'm also thinking about commissioning in the military as well (military psychologist). Your videos remind me about my own experiences in grad school and ideas for when I apply for doctorate programs next year.

    Great video josh. Please make a video where you review this course and talk about its content. The course seems interesting. This will be a great source of information for people who are intending on enrolling in OMSCS.

    I’m an on-campus Computer Science BS/MS double degree student at Tech. Would definitely recommend the Interactive Intelligence specialization (that’s what I’m doing for my MS, and my BS threads essentially create the same concentration). It’s sort of nice getting to balance some of the hard core AI/ML theory courses with the more applied HCI courses. Best of luck this semester and Go Jackets!

    Hi Josh! I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy your content. I feel like I relate strongly with your videos, having done a EE and CS double major in undergrad, and now just completing a MS in Computer Eng. As someone who's now working in the industry as opposed to military options that I had, I'm curious what got you interested in a career with the military to begin with? Did you have an internship experience with them, or did they reach out to you in some way? Would it be possible to make a video discussing your perspective on a military career?

    Great edits man! Love the authentic videos that document your OMSCS journey. I think there aren’t enough videos out there that show this detail.

    I did the same exact thing. I was currently working full time at Broadcom and finished my masters in CS in 2 years. I took 2 classes per semester and 1 class in the summer. It is doable but I did have to sacrifice a lot of sleep. There were times when I am in a work meeting and in a class at the same time.

    Hey Josh, to what extent do you genuinely enjoy computer science? I am curious because I'm in a period of burnout and want to hear other people's perspectives.

    Good seeing your vids Josh! HIT ME UP IF YOU EVER WANT TO COLLAB! I just started my CS grad program this past year, and I've uploaded a few vids. Feel free to check them out if you get a chance. I'm going to continue to post vids documenting my journey through the program, along with some fun skits and stuff. I'm a part-time student and work full-time. You got this man! Keep up the hard work!
