As a batchelor's degree with a very satisfying career in the past, the value to me was not the degree itself, but the very specific knowledge and skills that I picked up in engineering school, such as

  * learning a problem-solving attitude
  * exposure to highly useful engineering practices
  * learning some things that I didn't think were useful at the time
  * deep exposure to computer programming, largely outside of class

The degree is somewhere at the bottom of my resume, but is never discussed in either job interviews or consulting engagements.

What is discussed is are the projects that I have done.
