Maybe YOU guys know something. I don't think so.

It's not that your degree is worthless it's that their degree is worth more.

exactly.
most debates in education/employment-career prospective can be framed within this logic.
However, look UK university surveys up in the Guardian & Times...although Oxford & Cambridge & a few others rank top 5 in any given field, the surbey isn't always 10/10 on future employment.

EG in architecture Cambridge gets only 8/10; in dentistry none gets more than 8 and some even as low as 1 (dentistry I mean, not sanskrit ); etc.
And we know surveys are always kind of cooked to look as good as they can.
However
the person attending Oxford, Cambridge & the like is going to pay roughly twice the tuition he would at a regular institution (there you pay fees to the "university" first, and to the "college" you belong to second ). An Athabasca DE/DL course costs less than half compared with a Harvard fully DE/DL course.
This exorbitant tuition you pay doesn't by any stretch of the term guarantee you anything.
Sure, if your father owns a company; your uncle is a powerful politician; you smoke dope with the recruiting boss at Intel, etc, then your chances drastically improve, but then, a "regular" degree would be just fine.
Try figuring out how much money you might have in twenty years' time going for a regular degree and investing the difference in COD.
20 years ago big ticket schools would make bolder statements about employment-career chances; declining economy and lawsuits later, they mostly blow smoke like dodgy schools do...
our 2004 management class of seventy people got 133 job offers, but they won't tell the top 2% received 2/3 of the offers, if any.
here are twentythree of our 1999 graduates who are working (moreless) prestigious jobs with great companies: you will succeed with us, yea, too bad 1999 graduates were four-hundreds-ninety-six overall, what about the others?
It just reminds me of what some Hullaballoo University selling on ebay might say...we all have read those lines...
People with a A.A earn $8.000 per annum more than people with no university degree.
People with a B.A earn $10.000 P.A more than people with a simple A.A
People with a doctorate earn $50.000 P.A more than people with a simple B.A
Sure, this might be happening to some right now; whether or not it'll happen to me is a completely different story, huh?
