You don't know how correct you are with this statement.  I am currently
going for a BS in computer science and so far consider it the most
gigantic waste of time and money I think I've ever experienced.  I
thought they would be teaching us how to be good programmers and all
the latest technologies but not so.  Its mostly a bunch of quite
useless theorectical crap, spaced out amongst some almost interesting
material.  Mind you this is the 300 level stuff, the 100 and 200 level
stuff (like what you would take if you went for an AS degree) was
reasonably interesting and seemed to have purpose, but once it went
above that into 300/400/500 level it went downhill quickly.  I have
this mental picture now of acadameia living in a box and too stupid to
realize that there is a world outside of their box, so they continue to
teach the worthless crap they learned in the 50's and 60's.  Its just a
shame that companies look upon degree's and something useful and don't
pay for just raw experience (I work for just such a company).  I really
feel sorry for the people I know there who know little about computers
and are taking these classes thinking they are learning something
useful or that they will become good programmers as this school is just
not geared to produce such things.         Eric
