Having taught geometry for 20 years I am biased toward the positive . Geometry teaches you totally different skills from algebra. Geometry teaches you how to think in a logical process. It takes given information and teaches you how to process that information and use it to get what you need from it. Geometry gives you a toolkit that you can use to build whatever you need. It helps you to be inventive.
I know that the college entrance exams use many problems that reference geometry problem solving skills; so it is important for that reason as well.

Absolutely. Geometry is not just about triangles and squares and rectangles and other geometric figures. It is a subject that teaches you to think logically and so is of immense importace to whatever other subjects you wish to pursue.
It can also be a very interesting and fun subject.
