I agree with jona@clyde, most hackers are not good programmers.
I've had several jobs in which an inordinate amount of time
was spent cleaning up after some hacker's mess.

Universities don't need to cater to hackers' "needs" anyway.
There are plenty of machines (including PCs) out in the world, 
and you don't need a degree to hack - you just do it.
You'll probably have to form your own company though; most
middle- to large-size companies are beginning to realize that
hackers cost more than they're worth, over the long run...
