Well a degree is merely proof, or a suggestion, to a potential employer that the applicant is of a reasonable level of intelligence and capable of applying themselves to a task.
I interviewed a chap years ago whose degree was something related to archaeology so obviously when the conversation lulled and we were dealing with hobbies and interests this came up, as in “what the fúck …”. There followed a discussion about Indiana Jones which apparently is a very common misconception as what AJ does in the movies is not archaeology.
Naturally I did not offer him the position as in this case all the degree proved was that he was a complete fúcking pervert with a few letters after his name.
