As a professor and long time industry habitant, let me add a hearty AMEN
to the above comments.  The biggest piece of feedback we get from our
graduates is ``you didn't tell us that we'd have to do something besides
program.''

A personal anecdote --- When I was with Bell Labs, they began in late
1979 or so to NOT hire undergraduate computer science students.  This
was because those folks could not interact with the rest of the Labs.
That policy is still in effect, I think.
