Honestly by the late 1990's Linux was what was being requested by a lot of employers, with Solaris being the most common system it was displacing (in my experience). BSD simply wasn't even on the radar for most employers/employees.

The "late 90s" is ~8 years after Linux's release though. So well within the time frame for uni students to have grown into hiring managers.
