CONS: Not recognized by employers nationally

is all that accurate. I mean, if that was true, then people would be sticking to the same place they graduated college forever, which isnt true. I think for some jobs thats true, but I think for most its not.
By that I meant that inside your local region, employers will be well aware of the state school and you can get a leg up on out-of-region competition. However if you apply for a job on the other coast, chances are the employer has never heard of your school and it won't make a difference if you went to your local state U or a private school.

After your first job, your university matters even less, it's all about experience.
