You have several debatable ideas.

1) thinking university degrees are meant to prepare you for jobs. This is not why higher education institutions like universities came to be centuries ago. Universities are about sharing knowledge and researching. I would even debate 99% of jobs requiring a degree don't really, software development being one of those. Hell, one of the most important and famous chief surgeons in Italy, with various high impact papers. Was found to never have even started a medical degree.

2) Of all the degrees, I would safely say, SE and even CS are among those closer to day-to-day tools at work.

3) Extracting your experience and assuming it to be similar to those in other colleges, years, countries.
