I study Computer Science...and I have no idea what you meant in the OP...I didn't need anything, I just showed my high school diploma and boom, I was in uni, no qualifications needed at all....
As for work opportunities, I'm seeing a lot of offers from consulting firms, the kind that offers assistance to businesses in optimizing work and such, I think that's where most people end up as. And you don't even need a degree, just some programming knowledge. Still, it depends on what you aim as, the big separation is between tester and developer, but you'd need to have a few years of study to know what you like more
