I work for a university, and I don't think I have ever heard a faculty or staff member say "All degrees are equally valuable", a google for such only shows 6 results. All with the word not in front. Even doing more liberal searches produces the same results, pretty much every single article says no. Where is the advice you are supposedly getting? Is it coming from an authoratative source? You could really use a citation.
