While I agree a degree gives you some options if you are furloughed, I wouldnt be quick to say it would get you a job easily in this economy, my wife has a masters and a very good job and even she had to take a pay cut to stay employed in this economy, and she is in an I.T. field. Dont underestimate the number of College grads out of work right now...
