I think it's a bit more important to look at which degree was obtained, not just that a degree was obtained.

I don't seem to be having any issues here with a CS degree.

And from where.
This has got to be another one of the biggest fallacies. Yes, I would love to see from where as well, and I guarantee it's a minor factor in income. After equalizing for grades, experience, connections, charisma, IQ, motivation, and career goals, I doubt the institution matters much. As a hiring manager, I place little value on the school. It's usually just a function of income, race, personal preference, and legacy status.
