Let's put it this way. I couldn't find a job out of college, despite having a CS degree. I ended up settling for a very shit job that pays 21 hourly, 40 hours a week. Because the dev team is very small, I ended up with my hands in literally every piece of the programming pie. I put all that info on my resume and took even more lessons from this crap job to interviews in the past couple of weeks, and I just signed an offer from a lucrative tech company for about $140k annually, over a 200% raise.
Once you've done something in the industry, almost no one is going to give a hoot about what school you went to, they're going to care about what you've done in the industry, but at the start at least, you may have to settle for something a little shittier.
