I mean, it's not because I'm really learning anything in college, because I learn from building my own projects instead. But getting the paper that says you have a degree in whatever, is worth more than someone who does not have a degree. So finding a job should be easier, otherwise college would be useless.

That is true, the degree itself has value, but perhaps in a different society we would be pushing for trade schools again, and have degrees from those count just as much as college degrees.
