I rest my case!

Even if he is working his ass off so what? Pilots work what, almost twice the time they actually get paid for?

The truth is the majority of kids in college are there because they don't have the maturity to enter the real world.
They have to live in a protected environment with meals made for them, and a schedule to live by.
I used to be a pro-college kind-of-guy, but now the value is not there anymore. We rack up tons of debt for an "experience" of mind numbing hangovers and to fund elaborate campus construction.
I finished a 4 year degree in 3.5 years and I am still paying for it. I worked through college and started off at a Community College. I'm at a major, but I attribute that to my networking and not my college degree.
OP- You won't find solid answers here. We all have different opinions due to our different experiences.

I've talked to one captain already that got a CJO with Delta without a degree through SSP. However SSP is not the current program for new hires anymore, now it's DGI. DGI requires you to meet ALL hiring requirements.
No having a degree myself I think about this from time to time. Lately I've been thinking is getting a degree just for the chance I might get hired by Delta worth it? If I don't get hired it'll likely just be a waste of time and money.
