Does your school really matter? (CSU vs CSU or UC vs CSU)

I can tell you this as someone who does computers for a living. It really DOESN’T matter. Whether you go to UCLA or CSU, you’ll get an entry level job. The average length of time people spend in entry-level is about a year anyway. Here’s where it gets good. The tech industry is driven entirely on practical experience, which means in about 3 years, you and your friends from Berkeley will be on equal grounds. I went to a “no name” regional state university. With about 6 years of experience, in my most recent job search, I interviewed at Amazon, Google, USAA, GA Tech, University of KY, Target Corporation, and a lot more. I ended up taking a job for the state of Texas. You’ll be fine.
