Meaningless except for investment banking or management consulting degrees.

You don't need the kind of mathematical background you get in a data science degree to go into marketing...

Do a degree you actually want to study for the sake of itself.

However I would absolutely disagree its meaningless outside of these, employers like big name universities (with good reason usually). It is a permanent mark on your CV that you are most likely hard working and pretty intelligent. This gives you advantage down the line that if you want to transfer your skillset outside of your chosen degree you'll get the benefit of the doubt.
