Yeah, It's good for being a code monkey who will lose his job to an Indian or Chinese who will do it for half the price in 5 years time.

Does your university have computer science courses, or does it churn out code monkeys with "computer science" degrees? You'll get a job regardless, but the quality of your job depends on that.

It has computer science courses

Cyber security or Business Data Analytics.

Well rounded degrees and then on to an MBA.

If you have an interest in programming and you're decently good at it before college I reckon you'll be fine.

If not then wew indeed lad.

No, it's oversaturated as fuck; between universities churning out butt-loads of comp-sci majors and H1Bs, there's no work left.

The reason everyone is spreading the programming meme (thanks obama) is so companies can pay you peanuts for any work you manage to get.

any advice on what I'd be better of learning then?

5 years, more like 5 months.

Whether the degree is worth it entirely depends on how much effort you put in, a piece of paper doesn't mean shit in IT if you can't apply the skills to the business world.
I've worked in IT for about 10 years, i'm in infosec these days and the number of CS degree kids who try to walk on in to security knowing fuckall is incredible.

Learn what you love, don't try to love what you learn.

It's what you make of it honestly. I mean do what you enjoy doing, it sounds stupid but if you like what you are doing you're going to have inherit drive to get better at it. I'm a CS major, almost done, the major is fine, you'll get a job, my recommendation is to do projects outside of school. Just make things and put it up on your github.
