I'm not trying to be glib, but I think the best way to answer this question is to turn it back around.
What did you get from your time spent earning a degree?
As you've suggested the degree itself isn't a meal ticket or a guarantee of a job. Unfortunately, many people going to college don't seem to realize this. In the U.S., at least, there seems to be a popular inclination to view college as though it were an occupational school. That is, go to college, get a degree in field x so that you can get a job in field y. Certainly there are some degrees that support this notion. Many others do not.
It's an easy mistake to make. Students are told from a young age to get good grades so that they can get into a good college, as though getting into a good school is the end itself. So they do that, and then when they get to college many of them look around for a bit wondering, "Now what?" Someone often comes along and says, "Get good grades here, get a good job." This sounds an awful lot like what they've been told all their life, so once again they put nose to the grindstone (intermingled with, perhaps, excessive recreational jubilance) for another four years. Graduation day comes, they get the degree, and once again find themselves faced with the question of, "Now what?" Sadly, this time, the answer is less than helpful. "Get a job," or "Get a job?" with a shrug.
If you pursued one of the aforementioned degrees that lends itself well to this occupational training mentality then you're in a good position. If you did not, then you're in a less enviable spot. That nose-to-the-grindstone approach is all well and good when it comes to grades, but it misses out on a great deal of what college is supposed to be. I'm not talking about binge-drinking and all-night cram sessions. I mean exploration, both personal and intellectual; taking classes that sound interesting even if they're not in your major, or taking classes that don't sound interesting because the professor has a reputation for excellence. It's about cultivating opportunities and interests that you may not even have realized were there. In metaphor, it's the tilling of your intellectual soil, and the sowing of seeds that may sprout into genuine interest.
Sorry, I'm not trying to be romantic. I meant the above literally, not in a touchy-feely "find yourself!" way. If you're feeling less than enthusiastic about the degree you'll be receiving then I'd suggest that perhaps it's not the right degree for you, or perhaps you didn't really approach it the right way. The good news is that it's not too late, strictly speaking, though I suppose you'd have to modify the original question. Rather than "what do you get from a degree?" or even the rephrased version above, how about this: What do you want to have gotten from your time at university? Did you get it? If not, why (and what can you do now to change that)?
In short, what do you want and what can you do to get it?
