Entry Level Jobs

Sup /prog/,

I recently changed my major to comp sci, and plan on taking an emphasis on software engineering. Right now my only problem is having a job while going to school, in that all jobs I can find suck, at least with my resume. Are there any certifications/training I could get that is relative quick to get (i.e. not the BSc I'm going for) that would help tremendously in getting a job somewhere close to related to my field of study?

I got asked how I'd implement a doubly-linked list when I actually got an interview, and gave them the hashmap code I'd written in C the previous weekend. And they thought I was smart enough for a job (despite having no degree or certifications).

That said, it was hard as fuck to get an interview. While I imagine it doesn't make that much of a difference once you're at that point, getting there without that fucking piece of paper is a bit of a nightmare.
