The “story” (or should I say non sequitur rambling) composes 80% of the content—too much noise to information ratio. The technical stuff was good, covering a lot of advanced topics… just wished he could go more into the nuts and bolts instead of wasting his and my time with “entertainment”.

For me, grad school was more of a transition between academics and the “real world”. It was a time for relaxation and reflection. I met my best friends in grad school; but as far as career-defining, grad school has no relevance to what I’m doing today. To a degree, I think it just indicates that I can focus on a topic and that I can think abstractly. Research skills are also important in many fields.
