A bachelor degree is just proof that you can dedicate yourself to a long-term goal and learn how to think critically (at least it used to be). Any degree is proof of that.

I don't think you've phrased it the right way albeit (I think) I agree with you.
It's not that a degree is "irrelevant" based on the subject matter, but more accurate to put it like "loosely connected to" a job based on subject matter.
