Agreed. I came from a state university as well. It wasn't MIT or CalTech, but I had plenty of roommates with engineering degrees who landed gigs at LockHeed Martin, 3M, and BP. They used to tell me straight up they didn't care about their pedigree, they wanted an affordable, solid education.
Once they were hired, they convinced their employers to let them go back and get their masters, all paid for of course by the company. Something a LOT of people forget about and take for granted.
But it all starts with an affordable state university education.
