Now the hosed up part, I never used any of those technologies throughout my degree.

This is completely normal. The degree teaches you theory/fundamentals, not any specific technologies (which generally change too quickly to be taught in school). Would be nice if they taught some basic software engineering skills though (like version control), considering most CS graduates will end up in the industry afterwards.
