So a college degree is only worth pursuing if you're going to follow it up with more handwork and dedication is what you're saying

Yes, work hard in college and work hard in life. Dedicate yourself to the things that interest you and excel in them as much as you can. If you do it right, it often won't feel like work at all.

It's best not to look at college as a vocational training school or as a chance to get your start in some big money career.

I think there's two ways to look at college that are both valid.

1. You know what you want to do for a career, you've researched it, and you know that you need a particular degree (engineering careers definitely fall under this). In this case it is more like a vocational school, but every good program will encourage/require you to get more well rounding (my program required 12-15 hours outside my major in one subject, I did psychology).
2. You have a passion for learning and want to expand your horizons. This is more of what Dsh was talking about. Take the opportunity to explore the topics out there. If whatever you end up doing doesn't require a specific degree, just any college degree, then they're looking for someone who has a work ethic and knows how to learn.

3. You are young and have no clue what you actually want to pursue and hope that "College" helps you find your passion.

4. You want to party all the time, party all the time, party all the tiiiime.

My BA is psyc is worth about as much as stock in petco.com, but it did lead to my masters in business administration, so I'm more of a #3 guy.
