Counter-example: I went to a state university, graduating with a degree in Computer Engineering in '89. I've had a number of jobs over the years - several startups, but also roles at Sun Microsystems, Yahoo!, and (currently) Google. While I don't feel like my choice of university has ever particularly helped me, it also hasn't (that I'm aware) hurt me - I've never gotten an inkling that I was passed over for a role because I didn't go to a top-tier school.
