For IT jobs, most important is experience

You must have some hands-on experience to get an IT job. It could be a industry project or a volunteer project. A friend of mine did a volunteer project for a church and then landed a contract job. Once you get the first industry job in this field you can easily move to better ones if the first one is not what you want for long term.

You degrees only tells that how much potential you have in future, but not how much value you can immediately provide to the employer. So it is not very a big difference as long as you have at least a bachelor's.

Again, I have been telling job seeker that CONFIDENCE is a very very important factor in writing resume, going to interview and getting your desired title and salary.
