We tend to clump all degrees together as if they are all equal. Trust me, a computer science degree from my backwater country of Moldova (which I don't have) is significantly more useless than a degree from MIT (which I also don't have).
On top of that even useless degrees may occasionally help (e.g. when deciding to get certain types of job visas in the US that look at the applicant's education levels)

Prestigious qualification people are much more miss than hit in my experience, unless they’ve got the experience and maybe more interestingly, the connections, that we want.
