    From an Employers point of view.

    (1) The college makes little difference, the degree gets your CV past HR and onto my desk.

    Exceptions:
    +1 for the two colleges that I attended.
    +5 for distance learning degrees.
    +10 for colleges with a business/research relationship with our company.

    (2) The grade of the degree itself ceases to matter once you have some experience

    A good reference from your previous engineering manager is better than a top grade
    A good interview is better than a top grade

    (3) I.T. Vs. Uni. Does not matter

    Exceptions:
    +1 IT - for some IT qualifications designed specific to the role rather than general degrees
    +1 UNI -For some subjects that I have not seen taught in ITs.
