Unless you go to a top university like MIT I doubt much will change. If it were me I'd quit and move to Bay Area and join or create a start-up.

I have a degree and it is definitely totally useless to me other than the prestige of the thing. Some employers look at it as a requirement, but if they do, it is probably a boring place to work.

My feelings exactly. Nobody around me, not even my family understands that a degree is so last century in this field, unless you design rockets of course.

Ha ha! That's my degree Aerospace Engineer. But it was too boring working for huge aerospace corporations so I do programming now.
