Is there any point in a Cyber Security degree anymore?

I just started going back to college to get an associates degree in Cyber Security while working IT and planned on transfering to get a Bachelor's afterward. Now I am feeling discouraged after seeing posts of people struggling to get hired despite having a degree and experience and the recent press release from the National Cyber Director. Is there any hope for anyone just starting?
