Oh by the way, did you hear that Hendriks Institute closed? I just heard it today. Apparently it was a while ago. Sucks for all the graduates and the people enrolled...

College degrees are a must if you want to climb up the work ladder. It's also an image thing. You make a respectable company look bad if you're the VP with just a high school degree. It's a fact that people with important titles have better opportunities to get paid more.

As far as professors teaching computer science, I hate to say it, but I think it's their personality that destroys their teaching methods. I've had over 15 different computer science professors and they all have the same personality.
The personality of the professor will make a big differance no matter what subject they teach. Its a shame that you got 15 bad ones.

I don't think the school has anything to do with it because a lot of these professors have taught in different schools where I'm sure they acted the same.
I work at a small university and have been taking classes on the side. I will probably go with compsci as my major. Our compsci department consist of 4 professors, and I have had 3 of them so far. They all taught at other universities before coming here. I am lucky because they are good teachers and have good personalities. Also the class size are usually quite small.
I have also been taking classes from the Info Tech department and only a few of the professors are any good. That department probably has about 15 professors and a bunch of T/A's and freelance teachers.
The school and professors do make a difference in what you can learn from them. You will have to learn alot on your own to round out what interest you.

Well, not all my professors were bad. Some were just "OK." It's up to the professor to make it interesting though. I don't care if you're teaching quantum mechanics, differential calculus, or even Rock Staring 101, it's the teacher's responsibility to make the class exciting. People like doing things that excite them and have fun at. The same reason professors do what they do. They chose something like Bubble Gum Chewing 101 because they like it. I think colleges are hiring professors strictly on credentials that have nothing to do with teaching, wish is a shame.

Job? well, shold get that as well.
math? hmm, not really much of it. though one does have to complete whole course in 6months what others complete in whole year, but hey you need to understand everything, that is all that is required.
