Not all degrees are created equal and what degrees are in need fluctuates based on the economy. So a degree that was hot 10, 20, 30 years ago could be worth little today. A degree that is hot today could mean little in five year. Once you have the degree, work experience tends to become more important.
Generally speaking, people with BA/BS are more likely to be employed and make a higher wage. This continues as you move up the degree chain.

The problem is everyone here has a degree of some kind unlike back in TN where only a few did so he is like a little fish in a big sea of big fish now. Most jobs here are for science and research or very high tech while back in Tennessee you had factories and less technical companies where all you needed to know was Office software. Don't ask why we move. It was
his idea. He wanted to be close to mom and dad as they are in their 70s now. We just had no idea how different everything was here now. Almost all entry level jobs were snatch up by student just graduating from the 4 major universities here. I'm sure sometime later this year more will open up right now it's take what job you can get and keep looking.
