I got a worthwhile (for those who wish to be paid in scenery) non-CS degree, but nobody cared about that when applying to CS (well, SWE) jobs because of where it came from — although for that matter, it was almost 20 years before anyone (in this instance, for nation-state reasons) bothered to check that I actually had it, at which point I had to call my school and sheepishly ask if they still had my "sheepskin" on file anywhere...
