Agreed, but it really depends on how you use it and what one’s expectations are. If you spend enough time around here, you’d think that the only thing people want, or should want, out of college, is to wind up in elite positions that remunerate at the top 1% so that debt can be handled safely. We’ve discussed a few times that the Big 4 recruit from literally anywhere with an accredited accounting program. From that platform you can wind up in a variety of very high paying, and dare I say elite, positions. For the kid attending Western Washington University and studying CS or accounting, they will have options in Seattle’s professional services market. Those are just facts as I observe them all the time.
Edit: I missed your subsequent post outlining at least the accounting track. I would add CS to that as well.
