Is getting a CS degree still worth it?
This. And even making connections while AT college is overrated as well. Not useless, but overrated.
In the end, the one and only point of college is getting the piece of paper. The rest is memes.
I never said prestige doesn't matter, I just pointed out the facts that I went to a shitty online school and now make $95k a year.
I'm going to get a 4 year cyber security degree. Will that look good on my McDonalds app?
Literally useless unless you also get a Master's in it, user.

I'm doing a sys admin job with a top secret clearance in the air force. What kind of certs should I get for when I leave? I already have Sec+ and don't know what path to take. Should I get a CCNA at the least? Are cloud computing certs worth the investment?
I got an upperclassman in the anime club to refer me to a 200k job at Facebook.

Yeah, joke level. Even chemistry majors do that much.
Sure, just be proactive in your free time. What is taught in class is nothing like the industry. Try to see if you can take core classes at a community college and transfer those credits, it'll be cheaper and easier.
You can learn it on your own sure, but breaking into a good job will be difficult (not impossible). Lots of companies are going to filter you out if you have no degree or some are going to give you a lower title/salary due to the lack of it. Though, after a year or three of experience somewhere halfway reasonable it won't matter much anymore.
Reminder that no matter what you're fucked.
