I don't think comparing CS with Accounting grads works. Accounting is more like law school, where you're studying for a specific qualification, like the bar exam.
Accounting students are studying for a CPA, a similarly regulated exam that tests your knowledge of the rules and how it can be applied to specific cases.
By passing the exam, you're licensed to practice law or start doing tax/audit/advisory for companies or individuals.
There's no such analogue for CS grads, because CS programs aren't focused on training you for a specific credential.
