University can't guarantee you a job in the field.
Many people have degrees that aren't IT and have IT careers.
I started in IT at 17k and then a year later, moved company and went above 22k in salary. Now I got promoted to 2nd Line, just time to keep going.
Your 100% right and I kind of agreed with you in my post by saying I was raging I waited to my degree was complete before joining my company and that people who study / do projects on the side would be better prepared than uni people.
The degree does open doors I would say but it's your own work on the side that gets you past the interview.
