I've worked as a graphic artist for 16 years and even with all the experience I have, most places I've applied to won't even let me in the door without that piece of paper in hand.

I was tempted to go to a for profit school to get a degree, but getting a degree for graphics just isn't worth it at this point, not for what they charge. I am currently enrolled in a cheaper (50.00 a credit) school and glad I did it that way.
I'll finally get my degree for 10% of the cost it would have if I'd have gone with ITT or any school like that.

And there's the rub! We can fuss all we want about how worthless a degree is, but without it, you won't get an interview, or a job in many industries.
