Personality and Experience are most important (Score 1)

I'm a guy who recently got a B.A. in C.S. from Vassar College. Seeing how most people still think Vassar is still an all-girl school, and how it is a (very) liberal arts school, I was afraid of competing with pro-science University graduates and the stereotype of my school (even though it has an incredible reputation) in a science orientated field. However, I had little trouble finding a job. As the work force is shifting from closed-door developer houses to very interactive, small developing groups (consultants, project managers, outsourcing coordinaters, etc.) personality, initiative, and experience have more stock than a solid GPA from tech school. There is simply a huge stock in developers around, most of whom need to make a business for themselves. Grades and alma mater don't have the credit they once did.
