No, need to understand the abstraction level best suited both for the CS degree obtained and the environment the programming is being done in/with.

Unfortunately, most CS degrees are toolmaker theory for supporting areas of scientific endevors. For the "non-university" world, don't care unless it's clear what area of CS want to specialized in.

Typically don't control/define most of the enviroment the programming is being done in/with. Until one specializes/demos experience in a specific area, "programming" sucks because "general purpose" experience is real-world entry level.

A general CS degree hopefully will allow for figuring out what to specialized/get experience in. Although, hopefully don't pick something that's a grinding profession. aka game programmers.
