I work in the IT field. When I am working with other developers I don't really care where they got their education from. I care about what they are contributing to the project and how easy they are to work with. They do need to have that base knowledge to be able to do their jobs. But their personality and commitment to a job well done is most important.

I have worked with Sait grads, university grads and some devry people. My preference is Sait, University and then Devry. But again it has alot to do with the person. I worked with on guy who was from Devry and he was awesome.

Finally after 2-5 years it doesn't really matter where you go your education. We all have learned so much more that the education we got is only a fraction of what we know now. Are you willing to keep learning on the side on your own time?

Okay, another point. I suppose it is just like other fields of work out there. As long as you are a high quality software developer you will always find work. It is the people who turn lazy that may struggle to find work if they find themselves without a job.
