Honestly, I don't know what the value of a thesis is.  Part of the value of a thesis is that it is your own.  It's meaningful to me because I get to take an idea and turn it into a thesis that I spend a year-and-a-half on.  I want it to mean that I will have accomplished something, whether that is finishing the thesis, graduating with honors, or I don't know what.  It is supposed to be something I want to do, but sometimes I feel it is something I am obligated to do because it is one of those things that "smart" (what qualifies as "smart'?  book smart?  street smart? etc...) students do.  I want it to mean something huge to me because I want it to be worth it.
