I always considered university education as a base you use to build a career on, wherever it may take you. Trade school education is more focused to a profession (trade), while a bachelor degree program is more geared towards providing a general knowledge base. I have a masters degree in engineering, which gives it a bit more focus on a specialized area (mine was hydraulics, hydrology and water resources) and I used bits and pieces of it A LOT when I was a young engineer. Working for the government, consulting firm or contractor calls for utilizing different things you learn at school (and, of course, later on each job). So, yes, I used my degree.
