university degree - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

So, quick question, sorry, I raise my hand so often. Busy brain, what can I say? So, is a "bachelor's" degree called that because it is the study men were supposed to do before they got married? If so, as a woman, did I earn a "spinster"? If so, do records come with that, old vinyls and stuff. I could be a spin-stir. Though somehow it sounds less flattering than "bachelor."
