I don’t know about that. It DEPENDS on the degree.
IMHO, a BA in Political Science, Lesbian Studies, World Culture, etc., etc. is not worth half of a HS diploma from 70 years ago. I’ll bet the HS taught a lot more useful things like thinking logically, fact-based reasoning and mathematics for example.
Most contemporary PolySci grads would say “Dude, wha?” to those subjects...
Even 30 years ago my BS in biology was worthless except as a ticket into grad school.
