Carefully read the conditions of the degree apprenticeship. I went through a similar process in Australia and was bonded for 5 years after graduation -- effectively to pay-off the up-front investment by the sponsor. i.e. locked-in for 9 years.

Potential employers will mostly value hands-on experience far more than fancy degrees.

Being rather cynical about near-term economic conditions, I would absolutely focus on having earnings ASAP and building up industry experience.

So industry experience is more valued than a proper degree in CS?
