DeVry Institute always has commercials on TV for "guarunteed job placement services to all graduates". I know Colorado Technical University (not just in Colorado...a few other states are covered, too) has a similar program.

I know that, with the right polish and experience, a proper candidate can get on with Big Security Firms (TM) WITHOUT education or certification...if they can prove their worth. Firms like, oh, I dunno...ISS, Symantec, VeriSign, etc.
