What exactly does a college degree mean to employer’s these days?

Just curious as to whether employer’s see a college degree as a must-have for virtually any position, not unlike what a highschool diploma has always been, or if it still holds some sort of value that seperates you as a disciplined, motivated and hardworking individual, because obviously if you have spent 4+ years in college you are unlikely to have multiple years of work experience which is usually all that the employer’s seem to care about, at least as far as I have seen.
