In a now-trending TikTok video, Prince Debrah Jr., who was speaking on the sidelines of his graduation ceremony at MIT, was asked about the benefits of pursuing a Computer Science degree at the institution.
When asked by the interviewer whether he had secured a job after graduating from school, the PRESEC alumnus responded that he would be working as a software engineer at Google in San Francisco.
"I'll be doing software engineering at Google in the Bay Area. I did an application through the normal Google portal, and I got through the resume filter. I think the resume filter is the hardest part, and then after that, I got into the process."

He also added that, in line with his new role, the starting salary for many employees is often in the six-figure range.
"Starting salary for a lot of computer science majors could be six figures, usually. There's a lot of work to be done, but it's definitely very interesting, and it's very fulfilling if you enjoy it."
The video concluded with Prince Debrah sharing his views on the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its prospects for the future.
"I have mixed feelings about the growth of AI. I don't exactly know where AI is going. There's still going to be some amount of stuff that humans can do, and I don't know exactly what AI is going to do in the future and what's going to be left for humans. So I have very mixed feelings about it."
