I have to disagree here, only in that learning to hack PHP has been my meal ticket for the last 3 years and it sure as hell pays better than being a line cook.

It's also opened up opportunities in journalism that wouldn't otherwise exist for me-- mediocre hackers in newsrooms are as Gods. But I see what you're getting at.

Im not saying simple web knowledge is useless, its just a very narrow and shallow view of programming. A CS curriculum(even if you don't learn that much in class) might widen your view a bit. You didn't become a journalist by learning to hack English did you?
