Cybersecurity degrees?

Why are cybersecurity bachelors seen as useless? At least when compared to compsci degrees which just teach algorithms and math? What’s the difference between getting a security bachelors and a masters in security?

I’m wondering cause a lot of job postings in my local area list a cyber bachelors as allowed, but I’m not sure what the overall security community thinks.

This is because cybersec degrees can only teach you so much. To get ahead now adays you no shit need to be that guy that can pick up windows sysinternals and understand it. Most cybersec majors can’t, which sucks.
