The answer is yes, until you are accomplished as either a founder or a maker.

If you are going to work for yourself, you will be hampered by having no history and not having developed a well connected support network. You will not be given the benefit of the doubt, and it will be hard to get doors to open for you. That will change if you provide a product that investors can understand.

If you are planning on working for a larger company based outside of your region, you will have a hard time getting passed HR prescreens and manager resume shuffles.

If you are graduating, your best bet is either to head to Toronto or Silicon Valley and start your own company, or go to graduate school in hopes of taking an internship at Google, Microsoft, or IBM. After you have a single large company on your resume, you'll be fine.
