Like most so far, my degree mostly is used just to meet requirements to get a job. My degree is in math, and I have worked in IT and marketing my whole career. After college I got into website and did it first as a side business and then as a career. The STEM degree I think at least gave me a better reputation as a tech savvy person. My degree did at least require me to take an entry level computer science course, but I am self-taught and learned most of my skills on the job.
Edit, i should also add, I have a BA degree from a small liberal arts school. So I did have a pretty diverse course set in college that I think made me a well rounded person; So that may help with some of the soft skills that are needed in all jobs, but nothing that is directly applicable.
