It depends on what you mean by a "good" job. Can you get a job @ Google/FB/Twitter/etc. Probably not. But to be honest, as an entry lvl engineer without an Ivy League degree you'll have trouble getting an interview.
If you just want a job where you can build cool things and make 80k+ just out of school. That's definitely possible. There are a lot more companies out there that just want to get shit done and shipped versus ones that wan't to nitpick over 100ms of performance.
As you advance your career, you can spend time learning to do obscure data structure manipulation in C. So you can go for that job @ Google. Who knows, maybe you will discover being an engineer gets boring by working for a smaller company where you get to interface with clients, stakeholders, etc.
