Other than having the degree, probably not since I could have learned everything I needed for my career through self-study in maybe 2 years and entered the workforce that much sooner. However, being able to point to a degree clearly helps. I never finished my MBA but that would have been of far greater value. The company I was working for that was covering 75% of the cost wound up either discontinuing that or closing (I can't remember if the two events were tied together) and the places I've worked since haven't offered tuition reimbursement.

In general, America has one of the highest college enrollment rates in the world (higher than places giving it away for free) -- despite those degrees not doing people a lot of good -- which has played a large part in creating debt crises and if Warren or Sanders's terrible free college plan goes into effect, things will just get much, much worse.
