The system is a little bit flawed, because you can't survive with algorithms alone, sorry, that's just not happening, you can't win a job interview with a sorting algorithm.

The reality is that the industry needs developers that are good at one thing, they rarely need general algorithmic guys.

CS in it's current form is a major waste of time(says me who has a CS degree), it's basically: a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but let's avoid proper knowledge in any of them.

Education doesn't reflect the needs of the industry, the industry needs: server admins, front end developers, web developers, <insert your language here> developers. It's impossible to teach all these in an all in one CS solution. In my opinion CS should be broken up into professions.

What I just said, may not be the case everywhere in the world, it's certainly the case where I live.
