31. Having a Job

32. How you are evaluated…
You are evaluated based upon meeting your time estimates!

33. Why working on teams is way better in industry then school!
If your co-worker isn’t showing up – it isn’t your problem.

34. Getting In To Grad School

35. Getting into Grad School: It isn’t just grades!
Do research with a professor at Berkeley
Identify professors at Berkeley to write you a letter of recommendation
Try to do research over the summer
VISIT the school that you’re interested in
Meet the professor(s) that you want to work with
You need to know what you want to do!
(it will change – but you need to pick SOMETHING!)
