ok so here a bit of a strange one. I hold a B.S in Biology and Epidemiology however work in infosec. My resume shows School X BS year- year and School Y BS year-year. in my 12 years working in the field i have yet to have anyone ask me what my degrees were during an interview. It is pretty funny to see peoples faces when they ask after i've been hired. in my opinion degrees really don't matter, you can pretty much buy them now days. Unless you're going to a place such as MIT, CMU or something of that stature all you're learning is theory anyhow does not really help when you get out there in the real world. Most employers just want to see that you have taken the time and made the commitment to get some sort of education.
