Same. I feel like, outside of the work experience that was baked into my degree, I could've spent those 4 years and all that money in a much more productive way. (Note: I don't regret it, I had a lot of fun, but in terms of becoming a professional I could've been much more efficient) As a result, anyone who's come to me asking how they can "break into" programming, I strongly discourage them from University at all.
