Most people get too wrapped around the axle as to what their degree is in. Yes you must have a JD to practice law and a MD to practice medicine, but beyond that the flavor of your degree doesn't hold as much weight as some believe. I recently saw a statistic that over 85% of college graduates work in a field completely unrelated to their degree.
Not only do most work outsdie their field but even if you have other works experience how much can you except if you have some technical degree and have worked for let's say 5 years out of the industry? If it were in CAD or some sort of engineering then I would imagine that what I learned 5 years ago would be old hat and not of much use. I think that unless you go right into your degree field - your work history, experience and overall knowledge is a bigger factor for most jobs.
