Unless you want a very generic/boring job you usually can't just go to an employer and they will hire you. But like you said BA is pretty much bullshit.
The people I know that make the most money either
1)entrepreneur
2)very specialized masters
3)no degree but some very good technical skills

i am in DC and not looking forward to coming back.
i agree with some of your points but mainly your contacts, contacts are everything in this business. i think you make much more being in the actual business. i think it is the same deal starting off at the bottom and working your way up for 4 years then it is coming out with a degree except that way you have no student loans.
alot of people wont hear my out because society breeds you to somehow treat people with a degree with more respect (i have no idea why)
i am very proud of my one buddy a lightbulb went off in his head. he IS complete his last year of germany and is gonna fuck using his engineering degree and go sail boats in SA as a business just because he does not want to be a 9-5 slave.
