Not long ago, I got my BA in sociology. I think it was very much worth it, as it changed my outlook completely on everything that's going on around me. It's also respected by emplyers in a lot of various fields - especially stuff that has something to do with media, like journalism, public relations, human resources and so on. If you'd like to know a little bit more about how society works, and why you can't get laid, then this is the place.
Right now I'm doing my MA in national security. This is high calibre stuff, with lectures on how to deal with large scale disasters and how to prevent them. My beef so far is that it seems to be all about administartive law and government structures, but I do understand that the more interesting stuff will come along later. I'm starting strategic simulations any week now, and I'm looking forward to it. After that you're pretty much doomed to end up working for the government, though (well, not really - if you're creative).
