My minor is in history and I didn’t pursue it as a major because it wouldn’t have resulted in any job I could work, as I don’t have the right temperament for teaching and all other jobs using that degree require further education such as law.

I work for a company that hires engineers with diverse backgrounds. One of my colleagues has some sort of classical music degree. He is arguably our best engineer. The man is on the spectrum . People who focus too hard on the degree/school name are limiting themselves.
