I know when we go through resumes, the first thing we go through is work experience, after that, it’s the education they've had. Institutions like ITT and Devry are not high on the list. I doubt we'd even consider hiring someone who’s only training is from there.

I am not saying that people who don’t go to a college can’t do the job nor are the people who went to a college always better qualified, but in general, people who have graduated have proven the ability to learn. Very few jobs in the marketplace match up to course work at any institution. There are always differences and things that are unique to the job. Not only do I want to know that you have the technical skills to do the work, I want to know that you can learn and adapt to things you weren’t trained on.

At this point, I have enough resumes to go through to filter out the people I want to talk with in an interview. If all you have on your resume is ITT then you probably wouldn't be getting a call. Sorry, it may sound harsh, but with the number of experienced people and college grads available to pick from, that’s the way it works out.

Of course, any education beyond high school is a plus when entering a technical field. I don’t know what part of computer science you’re thinking of entering, but there is a lot more to writing software then just being a code jockey.
