I mean it isn’t like you need some overly specific knowledge to be say an entry level business analyst or project management role. What you do need to be able to do is properly write reports, research solutions, communicate your findings and work with third parties to implement them, all skills honed in any degree program. There is no specialized math, sciences, or anything similar required for most jobs. And while one could say ‘then why require a degree’, when you realize the average reading level of the US is at a 7th grade level and 20% read below a third grade level it explains why companies require degrees.

Honestly? Pretty much any major corporation or financial institution. They don’t care what you have a degree in so long as you have one. I have friends who have majored in history, sociology, philosophy, etc. all gainfully employed in a range of jobs from HR manager, to network engineer, to our COO at where I work that double majored in literature and music appreciation. They just came in after getting their degree at a low level entry position and worked their way up over twenty five years. Same with my best friend, graduated with a sociology degree, came into the company as a contractor doing server builds, was then hired full time as a backup administrator as no one likes working backups, and then a year later applied out to a business analyst position and is making six figures in a low cost of living state before the age of thirty. The specific degree only matters in very specific jobs, otherwise no one really cares except that you have one.
