Very good point.  The companies in this town and others who don't hire 
entry-level people are going to feel the pain in a few years time.

They are on mine, but I don't think it's something to be ashamed of.
I just came up a different path.  Started as an Engineering student, 
because my school councelors didn't think to recommend Computer Science 
to me.  I think I would have been much better suited to that discipline. 
  Can you make it through Comp. Sci. without Calculus?  That was my 
downfall.  I did horribly on Calc. tests although I understood the class 
material.
