Re:If their CS programs are like ours... (Score 1)

I know in the games industry people out of college are essentially useless for years. The problem we are seeing is that they know java and math and that's about it. A friend of mine finished his cs degree a few years back, he was programming games while doing this, he was amazed at how little the students knew. They couldn't apply anything they learned in college to real world projects. Most didn't even know c. I'm not speaking for all the cs majors out there but it seems the schools have gone soft, probably because too many complained that the courses were too hard. I know some companies that would rather higher a high school drop out who's hacked together a couple of games than a top cs student.
