>I don't think anyone needs a degree anymore to get to where they're going

False, unless by "anyone" you mean people in the US. I'm from Colombia and back to college to get the degree because I can't find a job anywhere without it. In here 90% of job offers require a degree and some only count your experience after the graduation date.

Any coveted job in the US is the same. First step in hiring funnel is to throw out resumes without 4 year degrees.
