I'm doing a bachelors degree on business/organization administration/management, and since it's scope is broader, I have focused more on the following classes: accounting, marketing (not to be confused with selling), public relations, ethics and philosophy (where one tries to analyze what is a moral dilemma, and which [im]moral acts precede ethical dilemmas), economics (which talks about the scarce resources, not just finance), and socio-environmental management (where discuss the social and environmental pillars of sustainability).
Most people in the classes I attend don't pay attention to almost all the classes/subjects that I do. Generally, they stick to accounting, public relations and marketing. I'm not a genius on all the subjects described, but I can easily see how free software correlates to all of them. Accounting is one of the few classes/subjects that I can correlate free software both in philosophical and practical sense: * Philosophical because free software is *not* gratis, contrary to what most people believe. ** Here we can also make correlations to public relations, because of the need to raise awareness and counter misinformation. * Practical because there are free software that can do accounting, like GNU GnuCash and Tryton (only if this last one isn't proven to be SaaSS). Now, I'm completely ignoring crippleware in this situation, because I think it's unfair/unjust to liberate some software just to attract society to acquire a "commercial"/"premium"/"Pro"/"Plus" might-be-non-free edition. Examples of "free software" crippleware (not just limited to accounting): Nginx, NOLA, Odoo (also known as: OpenERP), OrangeHRM, VtigerCRM, ProcessMaker. For more details on the problem of "free software" crippleware, see my proposal at the Free Software Directory requirements discussion page: http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory_talk:Requirements Other than that, I also do basic video editing with Blender, and basic image editing with GIMP and Inkscape. I will probably do some videos on how to use some free softwares (GnuCash; Scribus; GIMP; Inkscape; Blender; GIMP, Scribus and Inkscape with free-as-in-freedom color profiles and so on), but I'm currently facing a huge backlog of tasks, specially in regards to organization of some aspects of the LibrePlanet,org wiki that I have set to myself since no one is doing them (that place needs maintainers that know how the Semantic MediaWiki works, so as to allow unified interactions across groups of different human languages; and also to facilitating workflow and interaction withe everyone from every language).
