Totally. I became an engineer by reading the internet.
A degree isn't as much about learning information as it is about showing you are capable of being disciplined enough to achieve a goal.

I know you're joking, but I really did become a Reverend by reading the internet. So I guess it diminished the value of Reverend school degrees.

Seriously, would you say other than the following, you don't really need a college degree?
Engineers
Doctors
Nurses (and other positions in the medical industry)
Lawyers
Teachers
Architects
A job in media (put there are other ways to be "in the media" that doesn't require a degree).
If you are not going to school for any of the above majors then I would say its more valuable to go to a tech school..

I don't anyone believes this. You are expected to be competent in your field of study, first and foremost.
