    Only if the only point of college is to get a job.

    When it comes with that 200K of debt the ONLY point is to get a job. Employers want employees with degrees because degrees come with debt and people who are in debt are less likely to quit a shitty job.

      Having a degree that might not necessarily be relevant to the job does suggest to an employer that you have the ability to complete tasks as assigned to a satisfactory degree and generally indicates some amount of communication, problem solving and other soft skills.

      Also technical colleges and community colleges exist. You can spend a lot less than 200k getting a degree
