I completely agree with you. The main thing I got out of my comp sci degree
was the ability to think more logically. And, boy, do I know how to sort
(bubble, merge, radix, quicksort)!
Woo Hoo!! Let the fun begin!

i'm afraid i'd have to disagree with that. i may not "use" anything i
learned in college in respect that they never taught me ASP, CF, IIS, etc.
however, the concept of a stack, queue, linked list, structure, array, etc.,
is universal to languages (ok, well, most languages). it is in
*understanding* the concepts of these things that college shows its value.
because of this (fairly) solid foundation in programming *theory*, i am
better able to leverage my skill sets in languages i know. more
importantly, they help me in learning something new. when you boil it down,
all languages are the same (ok, there are sub-types of programming languages
(procedural, functional, OO)), all you need to know is where to put the semi
colons.

No kidding .. I have not used 1 single thing I ever 'learned' in college in
any job I have had since then. I learned what I'm doing now on my own (with
the help of you fine people) ... wacky field we work in ;) That new
certification from Allaire will be worth infinately more than that piece of
paper the college gives you.
