I wouldn't say degrees are meaningless - it's certainly easier to get certain jobs when you have a piece of paper. And, of course, you can't get any job in certain industries without a degree.
The real question is whether college, as a whole, is valuable. I'd have to say yes. Sure, it can be annoying and seem like a waste of time, but the real value is not in the degree but in the relationships you make, and in the opportunities you have access to. I would never have gotten my job at Deloitte & Touche if I hadn't gone to college - and job that taught me a lot. Did I learn more in two years in a CPA firm that I did in four years at SUNY Albany? Without a doubt. I would never have landed at D&T without the piece of paper as my ticket inside.
Side point: I've long held that the accounting profession would be better served by an apprenticeship structure, as opposed to the higher-ed model it uses now. It'll never happen, sadly. They keep moving toward more college, not less.
Interestingly, not everyone wants 'a job'. If you're a serial entrepreneur, like me, degrees hold less value. If you have the drive and skill to go it alone, you really don't need college.

The minute RPG writer Rone “The Jade” Barton saw the comic strips of Hugo “Butterfrog” Solis on the Paizo forums, he knew he wanted a to work with Hugo on a strip for Atomic Array, our biweekly gaming podcast. Hugo came on board and the two of them created Blammo’s Atomic Episodes – A new RPG-based web comic.
Atomic Array spotlights RPG games of every stripe, including our Pathfinder episode,so our mascot, Blammo, a sardonic lil mushroom cloud, saunters boldly from strip to strip, through the many specific game worlds featured on the Array.
Come check out our first efforts and let us know what you think. The guys are working to get a bunch done quickly and soon we’ll catch up to our latest episodes.
Blammo strips thus far:
Colonial Gothic from Episode One.
Reign of Discordia from Episode Two.
Prophecy from Episode Three.
Click on the strips to enlarge them, and while you’re there, go on and download an episode or two.
NOTE: You'll need to scroll down a little to see the script, and want to click the image to enlarge it.

Hmm, do I want a PHB2? I just can't decide.
If you like 4e, I think you'll find a lot of interesting stuff in PHB2. My favorite is the Deva - my favorite Planescape adventure heavily featured them and I've always wanted to run a deva-centric campaign.
... and a bladeling one, too, but that's another story for another time.

I'm really enjoying reading through these...
Cool. If Wizards asks us to do another preview for MM2, I'm sure we'll say yes. Who doesn't like more monsters?
