Student wants to learn the vocational art of programming, discovers Computer Science is not about programming, drops out.

If you read more closely, you'll see that's probably not what happened. She didn't drop out because computer science isn't about programming, she dropped out because she had no self-motivation and no real direction. She found the college environment difficult and boring and she found her advisor useless. She was far more enthusiastic about working for the (likely) charismatic, inspiring leaders at Techgirlz.
