Well I'll let this slide by on the basis that you haven't reviewed my resume :) Due to my previous experiences I've done everything with computers from technical support through software development. Yes programming is fun and yes its a huge market, I've just never found it to be a "turn-on." I've got a RADIUS server, a terminal server, a billing system, an online shopping cart system, and the start to an OS under my belt. :) Colleges need to learn that many students are getting the same courses while in high school and that they should offer a fast-track program for those who are ahead of the game. I entered college knowing C,C++, Pascal, some PERL, and some x86/Pentium assembler, all in addition to the electronics courses I had. The only point I'm hoping to show is that the colleges have become a corporation and that they are only interested in profit and not the personal instruction of students as they once were.
