I just learn Python/Django for a side project over the last couple months and launching tonight. I like it way more than rails, that's for sure.

If you went to a big university try Google, Facebook, etc. They don't care what you code in, they just want to see if you understand programming fundamentals and problem solving capabilities. The bay area is flooded with Junior and Entry level developers so it is hard to land a spot. You have to go to networking places. The best way to find a job is by meeting someone who is hiring.

Unfortunately, I went to Small No Name College for undergrad, Large But Not Terribly Well Known University for grad school, and didn't major in CS or Software Engineering either time. So, yeah, I'm showing up to many, many networking events these days. :P In fact, I'm writing this from the Bay Area Python meetup where Guido is speaking.

I went to a no name community college and learned everything pretty much outside of school. I have found it not to be such a problem. People are more interested in what you have created or what you are capable of building.
