i'm telling ya, it's not what you know, it's who you know. a well known school with a better reputation may help you get your foot in the door. some of the bigger or more well-known schools also have better job placement programs and those are also very helpful. Those bigger schools may also have a professor who takes a liking to you and they may know a lot of people who could help you out. however, hard work always pays off in the end. even if you don't get the best job out of school, as long as you work hard and build a good work record and have plenty of good references you should be fine, it just may take a little longer. but hey, you're still young, so just be happy, learn what you can, make connections, and good luck.
