IIRC, there was a study done in the last 10 years or so that found that there was a relationship between the type of degree, and how important the social or “prestige” component needed to be successful in a given field. The rough trend was that success with STEM degrees was less reliant on the prestige of the institution where it was acquired, whereas arts/humanities degrees required prestigious institutions (and the connections that they afforded) in order to attain prominent positions in some time period after graduating.

> The rough trend was that success with STEM degrees was less reliant on the prestige of the institution where it was acquired STEM degrees are way more standardized too. Good CS degrees are pretty much all the same in terms of content, from Stanford to State U and abroad. Same textbooks used universities for most classes (maybe a localized translation by a local professor).
