Is anyone in/went to college for a computer degree?

Please give us all insight about the process and where it got you and what you found to be the most essential knowledge while going for the degree?

This gets to the root of a lot of problems I have with MIS and straight CS degrees.  The quality is widely varying.  I've seen CS degrees that'd smack my CS&E degree around like a little bitch.  Likewise, I've seen CS degrees that are little more than "Microsoft Software for Morons".  I've seen similar variance in MIS degrees.  (My own school's MMIS degree was less than exemplary.  I was tutoring one student for a semester in the second half of his third year when he took "UNIX and C".  He was a nice guy, but he couldn't get the idea that a programming language and an operating system are two different things.  He thought that C == UNIX.  "But, I know how to program!  I made a clock in VB!"  Riiiiight...)

I would never, in a million years, want someone so technically inept as to be at that level of understanding after *three years* to manage software development.  IT & Desktop support, maybe.  Software dev't, never.
