The value of a degree is what you make of it. I think the most important aspect of college/grad school/etc. is that you have the opportunity to push the bounds of your mind. I spent 4 years in grad school for math at an excellent program, and to most people, it would probably be considered a waste since I use almost none of it in my daily work (programming). However, the value for me has been to push the limits of my ability to abstract concepts, and see how other similar high level minds perform.
