One thing to keep in mind is about most Computer Science degrees is that they are not vocational programs. Rather, they are often geared toward understanding the mathematical and structural underpinnings of computational machines. Sure, you may learn C++, Java, assembly, whatever in the process of learning about data structures and algorithms, but those classes are not designed to teach you how to be a corporate IT developer.
If you are taking CS because you think you will get a high-paying job right after college, and not because you are passionate, or at least interested, in prgramming and CS theory, then I would say most CS programs are going to be a rather large waste of your time, energy, and money.
