C'mon, Beta Boy, there is no single "correct answer" to the question of whether a candidate should be required to hold a university degree.
As with most of the personal questions at the CX interviews, it's more a test to see how you can express yourself and support your opinions. And to see if you get rattled when they challenge your answers!

I'm glad I put in my time at uni. Earning my degree did help me become a more "well-rounded" person, but I wouldn't make it a requirement for the CX job because I've worked with plenty of people who are good guys and fine pilots who only have a high school diploma.

There are many non-aviation skills, experiences, and qualifications that will make one's CV stand out, and a university degree is one of these.

(And believe me, I KNOW there are also millions of idiots out there who have earned university degrees!)
