I tend to think of my degree as a safety net; something that will put me on the top of the pile of resume's if my life crumbles and I need to find ANY job. I know a guy who lost out on an accounting job to a woman with an English degree (he had an accounting certificate) so I think degrees aren't without their leverage.

Also as I have a genuine interest in my program compared to most who take it (psychology), I can see myself going for my masters in the future and pursuing my schooling further after I've lived a little.

I imagine waves feels the same way about his degree; if he has a genuine interest in what he's getting a degree in, I don't think he'll have much to worry about, hyper.
