Good points, as a PhD in the industry this all aligns pretty well with my experience as well. The only comment I have is regarding >> Do people usually work alone, or with others? > Again, the answer to this question does not depend on what degree you have. The simple truth is there is no job in the modern tech industry that involves working alone. Agreed that this probably does not depend on what degree you have. But there is a lot of variability in terms of how many people you work with. I worked almost alone for a while, and in large teams at other times. I suppose there is no job where you work 100% alone, with no contact at all with anyone, ever, but I doubt that was the original question.
