Most fields have reached the right conclusion. Colleges do not adequately prepare candidates for work. If tech employers never train or improve their employees and the employees don't take responsibility outside of work, then it's possible for starting programmers to be passed from job to job without ever learning core concepts. There needs to be an understanding that a Computer Science degree often does not teach job skills and that addressing the problem early with extra reading or training is critical. There is a tendency for people to start CS majors who have no abilities or interest in the subject other than liking the money involved. When I was in college, I took CS electives as an English major undergrad and routinely had CS graduate students attempting to cheat off of me during exams. Anecdotally, a lot of tech leads seem dumbfounded by the results of programming candidates with CS versus unrelated degrees.
