>unless you are in tech and graduated from a respectable university I was refuting this. I've never heard of anyone needing to attend a prestigious University

  Ah, sorry. More to your point, there's a debate (particularly among economists) how much of a degree credential is "skills" vs. "signaling". The proportion of the latter would indicate how much a prestigious degree status matters. As a side-note, I don't think "respectable" and "prestigious" are synonymous, so you might be reading too much into their claim.

    From my experience a BA in anything just proves you can read. Most employers, aside from I guess a few select fields, don't care what you majored in. My degree's in some non sense, but I know it helps me get past automated filters. My first decent job was with a startup which are easier to get into.
