That may depend a little on the CS degree you do/have done! Showing my age, but a CS degree at Edinburgh University in the 1980's set me up for a good career... No idea what is currently taught. That said, recently terminated a contract early as the person was taking days to do simple tasks, whereas another person was showing gumption and being productive in less timeframe, and seemingly with less of a programming background.

Oh and I learnt a lot from initial working for a software house as my first job (Logica as it happens). But I did have a base to build on. Some of the lecturers in CS dept in my era had degrees in psychology or classics...
