I think the college only affects the first job, after that it really doesn't matter. I received my Engineering degree from UofH which is known as Cougar High around here, i.e. it's not very well thought of. Now 9 years out of engineering school, I'm probably better paid than engineers here from much better schools and I'm regularly offered jobs by other shops in town. The important thing is what you do after you graduate.
