I don'tt hire people with CS degrees unless they can demonstrate some level of technical competency before enrollment (open source commits, weekend projects, etc). Congrats new CMU grads, you get a free pass. OOP might have its place, but teaching it to first year CS students is one of the things I blame for the valley being full of mediocre programmers.

  Well, here it is pretty irrelevant. CMU wasn't a java school. It was mainly a C school.
