Let's be blunt here - the only job your new college degree really matters at is YOUR FIRST (maybe the first 2 or 3). That first job will probably suck, but it's entry level and you are competing with non-degreed people with experience.
The key is that you do good in the classes you have (mostly A's and maybe a few B's), and then perform very well in your job for a few years. Employers and headhunters look at the months of on-the-job experience with a particular technology; the degree often times is to fill the checkbox for the HR folks.
Just stay flexible and don't marry a particular technology or language. In this bussiness, things are always changing, and you will always be learning the latest technologies and methodoligies if you like staying employed.
This is still a State jurisdiction issue, just like the recording of phone calls. In Texas, only one party of a conversation has to be aware of the recording of any conversation, and that party is not required to present the fact of the recording to the other party. In the State for this current article, the State Law specifically requires all parties consent.
What it really comes down to is that we all need to be aware of the laws within the State in which we live, becasue if there is anything proven in every court in every state and nation on the planet, it is that ignorance of the law does not defend you from its enforcement.
