<p>I think its pretty nieve to claim that employers prefer one degree over the other, firstly becuase employers do not rank the universities in a simple list of 1.2.3.4.5. It's like claiming that they prefer oxford over cambridge. Also, I think you are confusing the opinion of the man on the Calpham omnibus with the views of the human resources departments in the big employers. The man on the street in Mongolia may have heard of Harvard, and not Cambridge but this is in no way representational of the employers of the country, who really couldn't give a rats arse between the difference in the two universities.</p>
