Seek and see the value in all you do. Arrive early, stay late, and put in a little extra. Sticking with your degree will build muscles for harder times you will surely face in your life.

Universities are great places to build your network. You have access to all sorts of people that you could not meet otherwise. This is how people get to be president and stuff like that.

As others mentioned, having a degree, especially a technical one, will help you in many unseen ways throughout your life. For one, it certifies to others that you have a marketable skill, that you know what you are talking about. Another is when layoff time comes at jobs, the degree is an extra point in your favor. You also need your undergrad to go on to a masters, be that technical or business or law.

Start a side business, hobby, family....school, like work, will suck at times and be hard to keep grinding away at. From someone at the other end of the spectrum, both the night school and work grinding enabled more results in my life than I ever expected to achieve.
