UC this, UC that, Mudd, Stanford, MIT bla bla bla.

San Diego State has fine engineering programs (undergrad) – if you work for a company your own abilities will largely determine your destiny, not the school you attended.
It is true that the school you attend makes little difference at the middle to senior levels in software and maybe most of engineer but —
I haven’t really seen much talent coming out of SDSU and other csu schools. I know lots of QA people with CS degrees from SDSU and apparently their ciriculium is quite soft. They can’t really hang even at the associate level in terms of entry level standards.
Of course there’s always exceptions and I don’t mean to offend anyone 😛
