This doesn't really surprise me. I'm a current Computer Science student and most of my peers don't really impress me or strike me as people I would want to hire at my company. Apart from being in Computer Science because they feel it's a lucrative field, many of them do little to nothing to "stuff" their resume. I'm finishing up my freshman year with good grades, getting my needed honors credits, working in a student IT position, volunteering as an ambassador for the CS program at my college and I still feel as if I could be doing more. Most of the people I work alongside (including those further into their CS path than I) do little to nothing apart from going to class while getting passing grades and expect that a job will be handed to them at the end. I can see these same people hitting a wall wondering why their specific path didn't work out when they have little to nothing to show for their time in college other than a degree in Computer Science.
