I have a Bachelors degree in Geography. I work at a university doing systems programming for a research group in electrical systems and security. I have been published more than once. I will be doing some fun research this year about big data. The only thing my degree content has been used for so far is one time when I was talking to a GIS company about some work related displays, I spoke the language correctly. The most important role my degree has played: I was able to get a "College degree required" job. The importance of this cannot be understated. Many places will not consider you without the piece of paper, whether it is related or not is much less important. The paper itself signifies the ability to get through 4 years of doing something.
