I studied Sports Management and a minor in Spanish! I spent several years working in the front office of pro sports teams in DC before moving to tech start-ups.
Bachelor of science(physical science) but hoping to get into tech so I am learning on my own.
I got my BS in Environmental Science, my Masters in Elementary Education. Worked as a public school teacher for a few years before finding my passion for coding.
B.A. in Music and 25 years later a B.Sc. in Music/Entertainment Business.
I studied Middle Childhood education in college. After college, I got my masters in special education.
Liberal Studies with an emphasis in journalism!
Late to the party, but still adding mine to the mix:
Japanese studies (aka Japanology) as a major and business administration as a minor š
Bsc. in Accounting.
Applied Math! Still took CS courses for electives.
Airlines Business management. Glad, I didn't stay long on that path.
Not sure if this counts, but I have both an associate's and bachelor's degrees in Information Technology. There were programming courses in the curriculum. I initially had a career as an IT Manager but decided I preferred writing code and made the change.

Wow so you worked on the development of aircraft and spacecraft. The perfect field for a programmer. Reminds me of the NASA Perseverance rover which just landed on Mars and all of the programming that it must have taken to get it there.
Surprised to see that I'm the first music major to respond. When I started I thought I would be unique for my background. Turns out it's pretty common for music majors to pivot to a career that actually provides sustainable income (unless you're a symphony musician, but that's not most of us). Music can still be what I do in my free time, but I need something else to pay the bills!
I studied Social Work in college and have worked primarily in Government & non-profit industries
My official degree is BFA: "Bachelor of Fine Arts." But it hasn't helped me to tell anyone that. In fact, I got more jobs when I took it off my resume. I studied painting and printmaking at CCA(C) in Oakland, CA.
