People go into CS to get jobs in software engineering. This is misguided.
CS is really a mathematics major, if you become a good engineer in the process of getting a CS degree it's purely accidental on the part of the CS department. It's like getting an astrophysics degree in hopes of getting a job in the telescope industry.
Universities should really emphasize software engineering as a major rather than CS. CS is great, don't get me wrong, you'll come out of that program with a galaxy brain for problem solving. In addition, there's definitely overlap between the two areas. However, it's often totally irrelevant to the real work in the software engineering industry.
