I'm 22, from India, have a good job and a decent degree. Don't worry - you will be just fine. This is what I did to get a good job - 1. Play in programming contests - topcoder, codejam, etc. and get under top 20 in India, and hence learn to solve algorithm questions 2. Apply to companies I recommend that route. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, now Facebook as well - they all look at problem solving first. Next comes Computer Science knowledge - can be gained in dedicated 2-3 months' time. Do it. It's worth the result.
