I'm with you.
After my second year at uni I felt that I should just quit and get a job. Everything I needed for landing a job in the industry, I was getting from my own side projects. I wasn't learning about things like scalability, or robust system architectures, or code deployment, yet half of the interviews I went through expected me to know about them, even if it was for a graduate position.
I still haven't used the vast majority of the theory I was taught at uni, but sometimes, when you come up with an elegant solution and trace it back to that 'Computer Vision' course you've done at uni, it feels like it's all worth it. As others said, coding skill is very important but when you know the theory you know where to look for solutions.
