Depends obviously you can get some very well paid jobs with a Degree but just because you have one does not guarentee you anything here.
My friend left school with no qualifications but is earning £19,000 a year just on a contact centre. Some jobs you can earn some good money without the need for qualifications.

You know what Greg, where have you been for my posting life on Juventuz. I've only started seeing your posts as of late and I have to say your quickly turning into one of my favoured members here 
It was a PhD in bioengineering offered jointly between UC Berkeley (academic side of things) and UCSF (medical school). I bailed out with just a master's degree, because I couldn't see myself going all the way for a PhD without first putting a bullet in my head.
I'll quickly blow that reputation for you.

It can be. Problem was that with that degree, there was hardly anyone who knew what to do with me.
Even the biotech companies were hiring either electrical engineers or mechanical engineers, but not "biomedical engineers". Because eventhough my program was tailor-made for their industry, that sort of degree wasn't even on their recruiting radar. They didn't even have a clue.
So it shouldn't be a surprise that afterwards I ended up going into software to support high-energy physics and eventually landed work in the Web/Internet. And in that time, I attended graduate school programs at places including Harvard U.
It sort of confirmed to me that there wasn't so much a mystique about what Harvard U. offered as much as the students and what they came in with already. In other words, I didn't see anything about Harvard grad students that I didn't think anyone else couldn't do at another school. But they had the brand name.
