I guess it's a matter of cultural perspective. Here in the US, it's somewhat challenging to get a job as a developer right out of college unless you either live in a highly tech focused city (like San Francisco or Seattle) or had an internship, especially if you went to a university that isn't known for it's CS program. Things have been shifting, slowly, away from that state of affairs, but I know quite a few people here who went to college to become developers, and haven't been able to find jobs relating to that at all even multiple years after they graduated.
