[QUOTE="bentbulldog, post: 394318, member: 763"] A college education is just that, an education. Both my degrees are in psychology from liberal arts schools. I knew I couldn't afford nor make it in med/law school so I took advantage of the opportunity to learn about...things. Value is determined by real/created perception of those who are willing to pay for it and not all degrees are perceived the same way. There is a difference between a degree and an education. Some employers are more interested in paying for your degree, others for your education, all in the assumption that you will deliver what they need. So my answer: College is only as valuable as what other people are willing to pay for the results that such education/experience brings them, which in some cases isn't even necessary to give them what they're willing to pay for.
