EPTIt's sad because not more than 2 other people out of a class of about 90 in my year share any passion for CS or programming. They only mention money and games. It's ridiculous at the fact an interface design class has bustling numbers of people signing up for it, yet my Distributed Systems class only has 6 people (with 2 people dropping out of it since that class began) signed up.
My ethos on University degrees is that you should really only pursue something at a degree level or higher if you genuinely have the passion or interest in the field. A degree is usually a fine tooth comb over a subject field with complex details in the subject at hand. If you don't have the motivation or interest to that level, then you should really reconsider what you want to do in life. £9k is a LOT of money every year to learn something you have no or little interest in. Even worse for US students.
It's also very sad that courses universally are getting "dumbed down" to cater to the ever widening doors of universities. You lose a lot of what makes the degrees exciting, and instead only get the mainstream ideas and theorems being taught to you.
