All of the best engineers I know but one did not graduate in software engineering nor computer science. None. They are all people that were coding in their teens and had a massive interest for computers, technology and programming since very young. Conversely some of the worst engineers I know were graduates who only went into SE or CS because of job opportunities. I am not saying ST good, graduate bad, I have also examples of terrific developers with a proper formal education. I think all in all what really matters is whether you really care or not, whether you want to learn and expand your knowledge or not. Other than that sky is the limit. I would still suggest people to graduate if they are young and it won't cost them too much, it's good to meet fellow students, do networking, study stuff you wouldn't otherwise etc.
