My experience with Bachelor degrees has been from both a job seeker: it lets you tick a box on an application you couldn't otherwise, and from a perspective employer: it tells me you can be trained.
In both cases, it was easy to group degrees (fairly or not): BA (you can probably write, but you might not have the tools to back up what you're saying), BS (you can probably do math, but you might not have the tools to articulate what you're doing) and pre-professionals are very goal oriented.
Graduate level degrees are different, and lead themselves to more general stereotypes (again, unfairly or not) - liberal and social and soft sciences tend to be polarizing voices, hard sciences tend to be uncompromising and engineers tend towards the pragmatic.
