I have an AA degree from Heald College, which is very similar.
I wasn't too happy with the school. I entered in 1998, and it wasn't until I graduated that they were certified to teach Windows 98. It seemed like everything we learned in class was old and outdated. Did I learn from Heald? I sure did. Before I went into Heald College I couldn't so much as install a new hard drive into a computer. By the time I came out I was able to build a computer from the ground up. However, I learned a lot from a small handful of students that were ten times smarter than the teachers.
Has my degree helped me? Sure has. Certain jobs require a college degree, even if only an AA degree. Would I do it again? I think I would.
As Kane said above... A college degree helps get your foot in the door. If two people apply for the same job and one has a degree of any kind and the other has it, well, the fucker with the college degree wins. What you do with it after is what makes the difference.
