Elite and even state flagship universities do not see their mission as primarily career training [0]. You'll get that in vendor certification courses at your local community/technical college (Microsoft Certified whatever, Oracle Certified whatever, Cisco Certified whatever). Not generally under the heading "computer science."

Forgive me but I must take you to task for this. The point of post-secondary education is not to graduate; the point is to get an education that enables you to succeed in your career. This may or may not matter if all you're doing is websites and CRUD apps (which should really be taken as a warning about the long-term stability of such a career) but that's not the fault of the degree program.
(Some may wish to point that grades don't necessarily correlate with mastery of the knowledge presented, and I'd have some sympathy for that, but that's a different argument entirely.)
