Sincere thanks for caring for your students!

In my experience, though, the set of {software development jobs that can be performed exclusively with the notions acquired in CS} is pretty much the same as the set of {boring software development}.

CS graduates tend to work on information systems, and we all know information systems are the epitome of boring software: https://thedailywtf.com/articles/programming-sucks!-or-at-le...

That's why R&D departments are full of people who learned a trade and later taught programming and software development themselves, and the bits with no business value are outsourced to consulting companies.
