I don't know, but let's say you did your CS degree, and spent your part-time working as a Web Programmer, and you are competing for a job with someone who did their CS degree and spent two summers working at Microsoft, and a third candidate just went through school working custodial. None of you will be considered "blank slates." Experience matters.
