Ah before I get flamed for knocking on Devry and college diplomas, let me say that you actually probably learn more about your chosen field in x years at college/Devry than x years at uni. But in many fields a diploma or Devry degree will limit your ceiling and options for advancement later on.
I'm currently cursing myself for dropping out of uni after 2 years and then going to college and getting a diploma. I learned exponentially more in my information systems program at college than I learned in 2 years of a computer science degree, but after 4 years working I'm already beginning to see the limits of where I can go as a software developer without a degree. I'm going back to uni to complete my degree this year which is a serious pain in the ass at this stage. I doubt I'll be a significantly better software developer once I'm finished, but I have no doubt that I'll be more attractive to employers and have more options later to move in project management, etc.
