He makes a great point. Perhaps an apprenticeship more than a degree? I know friends in a neighbouring university where part of the course requirement is to work in industry at least one day a week. I've learnt far more working for 6 months in a startup than I did in 3 years of Computer Science.

The trouble is you might not know that you don't enjoy computer science until you've tried it. How would you advertise the course?
