Not for an engineering major. Like yourself, I was engineering and my first job at age 22 required an engineering degree. And I would say that the education acquired did help in this particular job. I don't think I'd be the same person without that 4 year degree. That phase from 18-22 taught me a lot. And you are correct that a college degree won't help you shoot an ILS but that's not the point of airlines requiring a degree.
