I work in industry now and I would say if your goal is to get a high paying job it does not matter. A related degree and good grades are required to get your foot in the door but its only to check a box. How you interview, related experiance, and having a passion for the work is far more important.
Do an internship or some kind of related work while you are in school. Practice your craft in your free time on personal projects, this is a big as and it shows you have drive and care about what you do. Learn to interview well. This is all about being confident and being able to intelligently answer questions you do not know the answer too. Don't BS the answers, this does not pass. It is better to say you don't know and explain how you would find out the answer.
