I agree! When I went to the university (UofMN/IT), they did not have a software engineering program. They do now, but not then. So I got a degree in Computer Science.

Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin has an interesting presentation -- The Future of Programming (1h18m) -- about how the professional programmer and the educational system which produced professional programmers came about. For some, this is boring. I found it very interesting, especially the transition of earlier professional programmers to later educational system produced professional programmers.

If you like Uncle Bob's style (I do!), give it a look-see. If you can't stand Uncle Bob's style (I have co-workers who cringe at his didactic style), well... it won't hurt you to skip it.
