Any Thriving, Happy CS-degree Holders Out There?

<p>I'm thinking about pursuing an MS in CS.
One of my main "goals", per say, is to work for a large video game industry (like Riot Games or Blizzard).
One of my other main "goals" is to work for Google or Microsoft.</p>

<p>Has anyone that has gotten a CS degree managed to accomplish any of the two above?
Is this the right field to go into for that or should I go into something else?
I'm more interested in the programming/design aspect of video games/technology.</p>

<p>I’m a parent. But a lot of kids from my daughter’s school graduated with a CS degree and are working at Google and Microsoft. I think Facebook #1 employee graduated from UCSD and he also was working at Blizzard.</p>

<p>There are lots of interesting companies for CS graduates to work at besides video game companies and GAFAM.</p>

<p>Yay! That gives me great hope. </p>

<p>Most of the students in CS here work for Google, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, Gaming companies, start ups, basically whatever you’d like to do is available to you with a CS degree</p>
