It has become popular to dismiss the benefits of higher education but I think there’s still immense value in completing an undergraduate education. An undergraduate degree demonstrates an ability to succeed in a multi-disciplinary environment and to work collaboratively with peers. It gives the student knowledge outside their core domain which creates opportunities for cross-pollination of ideas. The only argument against higher education is the cost which wasn’t a factor here.

Strong signals that this situation specifically he was already well vetted and most of this wasn’t their concern. For people starting their career with no experience and no network, yes the undergrad signals everything you mentioned.
