fIRST AND FOREMOST... 

It is not uncommon to be confused and frustrated regarding the impending doom of graduation and what form of employment may be available for you as a current (or prospective) COGS student. As COGS students, there multidisciplinary nature of our degree blurs the lines of what may be possible with our skillset and what isn't. However, it must be noted and stressed that the path you may take post graduation is not dependent on the degree that you achieve but the skills you have learned in and outside the classroom. Resultantly, not everyone in this program will achieve identical experiences.
