Java Mad I'm not sure where you get your information. I am a ComSci graduate from University of Pretoria (end 2001) and I am actively programming in Java and have been since mid 2002.
At Uni we were exposed to Theory (Design, AI, UML, SDLC etc. etc.), practical application (Java, C++, HTML, Delphi, Javascript, even a little Assembler) to varying degrees. Even discrete methematics and physics if that turned you on. But if you couldn't do the practical application you couldn't pass. I admit that I haven't studied at a Tech so I cant make any comment on which is better ? How are you able to make your comparison? What I did find anoying about Uni was the fact that there is 'padding' in the sense that a student can select unrelated subjects such as 'Discovering the Universe' in order to make up the necessary credits for the degree - I would have preferred more ComSci related subjects. When I started working I took what I could get (originally Delphi) and while I agree that it is difficult to find a job I did not moan and complain or expect handouts. I studied extra Java courses and completed the SCJP (both to improve my Java knowledge and to make my CV more attractive) - then moved to another company which was developing in Java.
