Great. Then get the CS programs to stop lying to kids who say "I want to be a programmer."

Yes. In general, it's a real problem.

I have yet to see a single Art History curriculum include a Deep-Fryer Cleaning course. If universities aren't going to prepare students for the jobs they're going to have, then they shouldn't lie to kids about it.
