I will say that the credential was a big part of why I studied CS in my 30s. I learned a number of languages along the way.

At this point, nearly all the code I write is in JScript, Pl/SQL, Python, and T-SQL. I learned none of these while in school: Javascript was not yet invented when I was getting the degree.

I will say that SNOBOL, of all odd languages, was useful to me after school in learning Perl.
