There is a third degree which nobody ever talks about.
SELF-EDUCATED. You don't get the sheepskin, but you are admired for knowing a lot about everything. With a degree, you have to zero in on a major in your third year.

"..........“Too often, there is a stigma associated with not having obtained a college degree. Too often, employers require college degrees not because of the specific job requirements, but because of the notion that college graduates are somehow more responsible,” Dorsey said. “However, many successful people not only don’t have a four-year degree, they don’t have a two-year degree, either. They may have even dropped out of school because it was getting in the way of starting their career.”.........."
