I have to agree with the parent poster, especially given that I have a degree in International Relations but earn a high 'computer science degree' salary since I work in the field. Anecdotally, quite a few coworkers over the years at different positions have also revealed that their degrees are not in the field, but since, like me, they had the skills in it and the experience, they chose to do that kind of work, despite the degree being in a different subject.
