I've never been asked about my college degree or experience in a job interview. The lady who hired me for my first real job out of college did so because she knew about my prep school, which she always drove past on the way to visit her daughter at Princeton. At another job my manager did ask me about my college experience and it's a good thing I didn't lie. She knew several of my good friends and neighbors and used to hang out in our row of houses. I don't remember her from back then, but she'd have had no problem checking up on me through friends of friends.
