My undergrad didn't teach actual courses in C, Ruby on Rails, Scala or in fact any other "style" of programming I've ever used in industry besides Java and Python.
And I went to a top-20 undergrad for CS. That doesn't mean it wasn't useful. It was. I use stuff I learned in my past education a reasonable portion of the time, now, as a researcher.
That doesn't mean that it was a more direct way to "get a job", had I the courage to try that path at the time, than just doing an apprenticeship would have been.
