I don't agree, sure you can learn everything yourself, but you won't learn the things you consider boring. People with a degree in CS have more often than not a much better overview over what to do when and why. It starts in chosing the right tool for the work and ends with structured and usefull documentation.

Usually; I have the misfortune of meeting a non-trivial number of green-behind-the-ear CS grads who don't know where to start looking for tools, let alone pick the right ones.
Yeah I agree, not withstanding that the people you meet in school can be a very big part of you networking afterwards. Much easier to get a new job if the place you're applying for has an employee who can vouch that you didnt let him down during that team project.
