That I will agree with. Also you get what you put in. If you go to college with the mindset that you are just there to get your piece of paper, that is all you will get.
My advice to the OP would be to get your degree, as I said, in a state or local college. Earn some scholarships, won't cost too much. Then work like heck to get a 3.25 or better while taking the challenging classes (3.25 is often a cutoff for recruiters).
