> People go into CS to get jobs in software engineering. This is misguided.

I told my academic advisor I wanted to be a computer programmer, and she put me in CompSci. No one ever told me that that was the wrong discipline. My school didn't even have a Software Engineering program. I had graduated and was trying to find work before I fully realized that my degree had barely taught me anything useful and I was going to have to learn most of it myself.

It's the system that's misguided.
