Yep. Well, I went to a similar sort of small liberal arts school (actually they have great business and nursing programs that are only recognized in the local region). I got interviews from Amazon, Cerner, and a few other big companies, but I was completely unprepared for job interviews (my fault, I know). It's not so much that the talent doesn't exist, it's that businesses only want to hire the very best, and they pass over people who show any sign of weakness or being unsure.

I've got a great job now programming all sorts of things, but it's not purely CS, there's a lot of other stuff there too. Perhaps more BS-CS degree earners should look into industrial applications, they're not ashamed to hire people from small colleges.
