I don't have time to read everyone's opinions in this thread so forgive me if my post is redundant but I saw this thread title and felt that I needed to at least put in my 2 cents.
What you learn in a classroom is not useless regardless of the degree you choose to take, even if it is only a BA.
It does not guarantee you a certain salary, but what it gives you is the ability to prove to any potential employer that not only can you learn, but you can accept information that is presented to you in a critical manner, and then synthesize it together to make well thought out decisions on how to proceed.
In most places you need to have a university degree just to walk in the front door of a badly paid position and the 4 years experience you will have instead of a degree will mean jack if it is as a receptionist or laborer.
Having a degree basically does not guarantee a salary but it is a badge of honor that you can take to an employer and say.. look I can think and I can learn and this institution will back me up on that.
Say what you will about education but there are lot of people who could really use some. It would help them to post complete sentences, it would encourage them to completely read an email before replying to only part of it or it would perhaps help them to waste less time by doing things more efficiently after a little bit of research.
That said, you can be all of those things without an education, it is just much harder to prove it when a potential employer asks you to.
