I always say the same thing to all my friends who are still in university..
it's not about your diploma.. it's about who you know...
thankfully I know people

example: I wanted to go for dinner with a friend of mine I havent seen in a long time
she kept telling me she couldn't go out that week cuz she had exams the week after so she postponed our dinner for 2 weeks from when I wanted to go (no.. didn't make up shit.. we ended up going)
I told her that she could study for it, or, I could call a friend of mine who works in the field she wants to go in when she graduates and get her the job, no diploma, nothing...
my word and recommendation means more to that person than a stupid diploma...

and there are some people who's word and recommendation means more to me than a diploma when hiring someone...

I was looking for an IT guy for my company... got a CV, he used to work in a store next to a good friend of mine who's word I know I can trust... I called my friend, friend told me to hire, I did, and he's the best damn IT I've ever had...
