it depends on where you go. people from one university will say they weren't taught to think, just to write code. people for a different university will say they weren't given enough hands-on experience, just computability theorems.
the real problem is that universities are marketed to kids. it's funny how the moral of many kid stories is "be yourself" and yet it seems to be taking longer and longer for people to find themselves and what they really want to do. not that the constant advertising from universities, corporations and society at large helps.

It also seems to me that a large part of the university experience is 'finding yourself'. Unfortunately, I don't think this process fully materializes in the vast majority of students.
