• Answer:

  In my experience, the "title" of the degree is not as important as the subjects learned. At least here in the USA, practical experience, particularly developing code in Java or .Net, is more important than academic experience in Scheme and Lisp, etc. In administrative arenas, knowing networking, system admin, and how to optimise Microsoft software packatges - particularly Exchange, Sharepoint, etc. is good experience. Linux expertise is also becoming a commodity.
