College degrees became useless long before that.

The only time a piece of paper was worth anything was when only a very small portion of the population could afford schooling. Degrees were scarce, and the higher up the ladder you went the more scarce it became. If you had one, there were people with money looking for you.

Today the only thing that's worth money is connections. It doesn't matter how good you are, the CEO's douchebag nephew will still be your boss.

Education isn't worth anything anymore. Knowledge and calculations are better done by computers; understanding is more easily done with adequate computer help; and for the few things it's still better to have humans doing, there are so many of them that they can't pretend they're hot shit.

You need a doctorate to do what people used to do with a bachelor degree; you need a bachelor degree to do what people used to do with a highschool diplomal; you need a highschool degree to do what people used to do without knowing how to read.

You know I use a scientific calculator for my physics, pre-cal and trig instead of a graphing calculator. Wolframalpha is basically a hyper-powered graphing calculator so whatever. More power to the people who know how to use such a complex tool, I have my own reasons for using a less capable device. There's always trade-offs and using wolframalpha is an extremely lesser form of self destructive behavior (skipping fundamental and conceptual aspects) if at all.
