Many people going into work nowadays in dev are under the impression that unless they are full Stack they will never get hired, which is effectively reflected in most requirements for entry level job postings. So, most of the people I have known (myself included) are expected to effectively be 'full stack' in order to get even an entry level job. A lot of people either end up studying outside of school to learn all the additional skills needed to get a job, or going to a training boot camp after graduating to get 'Junior full Stack' status before getting a job. Only to find out the real reason they were not getting jobs is the lack of Certifications, which generally cost a few hundred dollars to test for, but often are not noticable on a list of some job requirements, but what people are generally looking for.
