This is true but it is also the case that you do not want your practises to be sites that you hope to make you money. I learned programming in uni, and can handle that aspect well, but when it comes to the design of the site that's another kettle of fish. I am not a designer, I am a programmer, and that too is something to consider. Design is something that can be taught in theory, but theory won't help you build something that just is, perfect.
