Beat me to it ....

I started in a Java shop, well the java shop, but that was my choice. Java is simple and applies everywhere. I now do mostly DB work now but SQl and pl/SQL are good languages..

Most successful CS alumni are usually 'self taught'. If you don't apply yourself outside of the given curriculum, you have a pretty good chance at failing getting into the work place.

My only problem with Masters/Doctorates in CS is that you either become "over qualified' for a lot of employers or you're heading down the research path. Research wasn't my gig.

P.S. I could write a *.dll that says 'Hello World' and my C is pretty rusty. I'm assuming yours was a little more complex ...
