Is a CS degree worth it?

Possibly not, says one tech commentator, who asserts “When searching for talent, I’ve stopped relying on computer science degrees as an indicator of anything except a general interest in the field. Most schools suck at teaching theory and aren’t great at Java [4] instruction, either. Granted, they’re not much better with any other language, but most of them teach Java. Not that there aren’t bright, shining exceptions; for example, every single Virginia Tech grad I’ve interviewed has a firm grasp of theory.“
