From time to time I'll see a job posted on Craigslist or the like that says "We only want applicants with Computer Science degrees from Berkeley, MIT or Stanford". I myself have a Physics degree from the University of California Santa Cruz - "Uncle Charlie's Summer Camp". Despite that, I quite commonly find that I'm a better, or more productive coder than colleagues with CS degrees from those schools. Just because you have a degree, it doesn't mean that you have a clue. And just because your degree is from a school that no one has ever heard of, it doesn't mean that you're ignorant.
