I'm an IT manager, and have recently hired someone with a pschycology degree, and someone with an electrical engineering degree. Both had solid IT job experience and both are working out very well. A computer science degree is a definite assett, but outside of that, any degree would be a positive, and work experience and interview are much more important deciding factors.
Hiring someone directly out of college would be a different story though, and much more weight would be given to a relevant degree.
Taking something that aligns with your interests and passions in University, and then supplementing it with training or associate degree that provides more relevant job skills is a pretty normal path for a lot of professional people I know.
