In many places I have worked you degree is meaningless. As long as you can prove you went to school for X number of years you get the job anyway. In one example the lady in charge of our entire purchasing department had a fine arts degree and no account skills or business. She made over 100k a year and drove a Porsche. She was (according to many) a complete idiot but since she could talk about plays and expensive artworks with the owners she fit right in with them and had the job 10 years before i got there and to this day as far as I know. It was really sad as often we had none of the materials in demand on hand to sell and huge overstock of crap that was outdated and could not be sold even at cost.
