I'm probably with the majority in that my degree got me my job, and I used it to get my CMA designation. I use a few things from the accounting courses, but really, I didn't really fully understood any of those concepts until I applied in my actual job, and I would say 90% of my real learning was from the job itself.

All the other soft skills, I notice a ton of repetition in those courses and management and training courses afterwards. I mean, how many ways can they re-package the personality tests of whether you're a high D, high S, high whatever, or what colour you are. I must have done at least a dozen of those tests that all tell the same thing, but just worded differently.
