You are right, a degree is terrific to have and a great starting point. I just don't like the hype schools sometimes feed their students that they will be fully qualified to jump right into the workforce. It would be interesting to see what the actual success rate is of these schools getting their graduates placed into a true technical position right out of the gate. I bet the vast majority of their students still end up with an entry level position until they gain more experience.

It's the old catch 22. How do you get experience if no one will hire you, and yet companies won't hire you until you have some experience.

But yes, a degree is great to have as part of your resume.
