I applied for work at an antivirus company and they weren't interested. All that matters here is your diploma. It's very biased. And most people that graduate don't know what they're doing. They're just script kiddies.
Script kiddies use pre-written programs to hack.
You can download them from a ton of websites, but it's quite dangerous. These people are clueless and don't really know what they are doing. By accident they can do a lot of damage to a computer's files. We just try and make companies aware of the fact that they have a security problem. I just use computers in Internet cafes and computer shops.
