From personal experience I've found just having a degree of any calibre is good (obviously I didn't go to one of the big name universities). It gets your foot in the door and that is about it. After a couple years working as a grunt (which you will do regardless of where you get your degree) your experience in the field that you've chosen will become much more valuable than your degree ever could.
