Front-end engineering is a tiny proportion of computer science (ie not covered in a general curriculum at all), so I'd say it depends if you want the depth of more front-end experience putting you even further ahead of your peers or the depth of a huge range of CS subjects, mostly close to useless for your standard front-end engineering role.
Lines are getting blurred, and college/university isn't the only way to learn more things, but I imagine you're ruling yourself out of a lot of jobs by focusing this early. Maybe you don't want them jobs though. I guess my best guess at an answer is take a job if you can and you know it's the career you want, if not bite the bullet and do CS.
