I tend to think that college degrees are good if you go into it thinking this is to make me a better informed more knowledgeable person. This is to teach me how to learn, how to approach problems. If it's all about a job, then perhaps you're missing the point. It's about acquiring a career path, then undergrad is really only the first step for most people.
