Would be interesting to compare degrees from different countries with each other, how hard it is to obtain them etc.

The bachelor degrees in Germany seem to be strongly dependend on the university and I've seen quite a few people where I didn't understand how they got through. It seems to be worse with off-shore resources, but this could be just personal experience or the fact that my company utilizes one of the big 4 off-shoring companies (my assumption would be the really skilled people would rather work for software companies or something similar)
