Someday I'll expect you to call me Dr. HellandExcept that you won't care about stuff like that any more. Some do, but you won't. Believe me. ;-)
FWIW: apart from degrees that give entry to exclusive clubs, such as law or medicine, IMHO the most relevant outcome from a degree is proof that the recipient can stick at something for more than 5 minutes, and that he or she hopefully can write a sensible paragraph or two. Most industry moves so quickly these days that you're going to have to train any graduate, so unless the degree is in something like Hip-hop or one of those "send $29 and get a degree!" efforts, it's a tick.
Also FWIW: last time I said the above I added a reference to the fact that even people with a degree may be unable to string together a sensible sentence these days but that annoyed a recent graduate, so I won't say it this time. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
