Pretty much I think this is one reason why the big names in software industry did not totally adopt the notion of graduating with a degree. What they did was to venture out on the real world and try solving some problems that they have by using computers and understanding how to program it. Pretty much I think it is safe today that 90% (or more) of what's being taught in universities offering CS degrees doesn't match up with what's happening in the real world. You want to program, sit on a computer, find something to solve and do it.
