No, I highly doubt you won't use it much in your daily programming life. That being said...
1. Some of the benefits of these courses is not in the content itself, but in the mental exercises in logic and reasoning.

In support of a degree..
A degree can show potential employers that you can stick with something, that you can jump through hoops that are outside your area of interest, and that you have made it through one of the most commonly used hiring filters in the industry.
I always thought the "Go vote" campaigns where led by the side who noticed that uninformed voters tend to vote in their favor. IMHO this is quite the opposite of fulfilling your patriotic duty.
