I've got a masters degree I'm not using, but I'd go through it again. I got my degree in architecture, and I find that the time I spent focusing on learning design and problem solving, as well as working with other intelligent people, was well worth it. I use many of the skills I learned every day, and might not have learned had I taken a different path. Not sure if all degrees will help the average person on a daily basis, but I'd have to think in most cases the time you devote to your education will pay off ten fold in life.
