My university's CS department had just enough "time" to skim over the big topics (one database class, really??) while we ran around trying to please non-CS profs in classes that weren't really necessary for me (two chem classes and physics).

I'm all for general knowledge, but if I need to know anything about chemistry (which I haven't yet in my role as a web dev), then I can go learn it, or change my major and focus on it.
