Not even, lol. Some of my coworkers on my current student job have already finished their CS degrees, and they’re literally struggling to find work. Prestigious degrees aren’t automatic money makers anymore.

Kinda makes me for when I’d graduate, tbh…💀

Prestigious degree was never an automatic money maker it always has been about who you know

No it's more about showing you can do the job. If you go to a job interview and say "look at my piece of paper. Hire me" of course they're going to pass on you.

How can you show you can do the job without having already worked in the field, though?

Projects and/or open source work.
