Graduating this May with BS in CS and I've only ever debugged with couts or printlns. Am I doing it wrong? No one ever taught us how to use a built in debugger so I guess it's not that important?

You're pretty much fucked OP, your degree is useless in the real world.
If you can't use a debugger, source control management tools, various *nix tools and IDEs, understand regular expressions and numerous application and systems development APIs and technologies outside of the basic standard libraries that you might have used with the languages you've learned, you're fucked.
If you don't understand the nuances of concurrency, socket programming, and database management systems, you're double-fucked.
Real developers don't use cout or println for even regular I/O, let alone debugging.
Best get cracking on trying to learn some of this stuff on your own personal projects if you want to find a job in the field that pays more than bottom of the barrel $30,000 a year.
