As a HBCU comp sci alum, one important message that should be shouted - entrepreneurship is a career option for hackers. Especially hackers with unique insight into diverse communities.

What I remember of undergrad is that companies were desperate to hire smart CS types. These jobs were, more often than not, represented as the pinnacle for students. With good options to join top-tier IT and other firms, most "success" stories were about doing just that. Not so much about starting companies by wielding your code chops.
