The 15 Best Colleges To Attend If You Want A Job As A Startup Software Developer

A software developer job at a big tech company like Google might be well-paid with a lot of perks, but at a smaller company there's the tantalizing ability to build a product completely from scratch.
Plus, startup employees often get paid in stock options, giving them the potential of a huge windfall if the company does indeed make it.
