Yes! I view my degree and experience getting it in college as incredibly useful for learning all sorts of theory and the like that I wouldn't have taught myself because I don't find it particularly interesting. But it's still useful knowledge to have in the back of your head. 90% of what I do daily on the job and any pracitcal/useful programming is stuff I've taught myself over the years.
