Damn that sucks :(

IMO I don't think Rails or Swift are the best languages to start out with if you're looking to get a job. Primarily because they are mostly used at Startups or smaller companies and those companies generally want senior coders (as they don't have time to train juniors).

I think the best languages to easily get a job are Java, PHP, C# or C++. There are many enterprises, banks and governments who can't get enough coders for those languages because the jobs are boring and routine and most coders tend to stay away from them, or quickly move on to more fun things after they've gained a few years of experience.

The fact that you know Rails or Swift too won't be a waste. It's still a huge asset to you because hiring managers at these big boring companies are used to seeing resumes of recent graduates who have taken programming for the money, not for the passion. Seeing that you've learnt languages that they don't teach in college puts you above the rest of the field.

Banks, governments and big business in general is the most demanding in terms of degrees unfortunately...
