do you really think that xml will be around in 20 years time? i really hope not.

your idea of a cs degree is also bent towards web development. this is hardly the most intellectually challenging of jobs; compared to, say, supporting a stock exchange, or designing an embedded system -- oh, you didn't know these are Real World Jobs? pity.

you fail to see the applicability of ai, compilers, embedded systems, etc? you clearly have a very simple problem domain. perhaps you consider learning how to prove asymptotic bounds to also be a waste of time because everyone just uses the built-in libraries? ever heard of data mining and the semantic web? i gather these might be quite important at some point.

on your list, my degree does not cover: design patterns (these are hardly difficult to learn yourself..) XML, economics (what are you smoking?) i18n. that's really it. everything else is already covered, and we get to do more interesting stuff like ai.
