Thanks for the comment. Do you think there's a difference between pursuing a undergrad degree v grad? From my limited experience so far is that undergrad classes are better in terms of teaching fundamentals.

Depending on where you live, an undergrad degree tends to be either 3 or 4 years. A grad, assuming you mean a masters, is usually 1 year. Agreed, an undergrad degree does teach you the fundamentals, but i reckon your focus should be on trying to get as much experience as possible.
Not sure where you're located, but if you want mobility (be able to work in other countries), a degree will help a lot in getting work visas.
I'm Canadian! I would prefer to end up in the West coast/California, but I don't think I can afford a top US degree.
You don't need to go to a US school for a CS degree. They accept Canadian universities.
