Hi Anna,
Your degree will likely be most relevant right after college, because you'll be using it to start your professional career. As you gain experience in a field and transition to other roles, your job experience will be more impactful than your degree title. However, I do think for a lot of job areas your degree is going to hold at least a little weight as they consider you for a role.
Best of luck to you!

Hi Anna,
It depends on your career path. There are some occupations that require a particular degree while others have 'recommended' degrees. Either way, experience is very important. If you do not have a degree in the subject manner make sure you get enough real world experience to talk about during interviews.
Good luck!
