Yup, and once you're out in the world you find out it doesn't matter. As long as you have a degree, where its from and what its in really doesn't matter. Degrees show that you can follow through with commitment, not that you're intelligent.

Also my pay suffers without a degree

I'm well aware. But really quality of education does matter.

Not really unless its a community college vs 4 year vs ivy

Kinda, a degree from an ivy league school vs a state college is a huge difference.
And a 4 year degree in IT and working in IT is better than a 4 year in liberal arts or some dumb shit.

I'm going for a 2 year at a community college in MIS, however the actual name of the program is Computer Science, and my actual job is Desktop Technician.
I will transfer over to Mass state as they have an online 4 year degree for networking admin.
