I personally don't have a degree, but my field also doesn't really require one to work in. Live entertainment is a "who you know" business and your on the job knowledge out weighes an education more often than not.
If I were to go back to school though, it'd be for film production.

Master's in Clinical Psychology (my first degree) and Master of Science in Nursing/ANP (achieved later). I worked as an Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP) until I retired. Absolutely loved it!

I was in a 3 year program and doing my last year in Gemology when I got really sick. I didn't finish it and I won't ever go back to it.

Certified teacher, two years into my masters in education (stopped due to health issues). Planning on going back and finish my masters and get my PhD in Education. I have a degree in English (the language) and if all goes well, I'll add either Literature or Philosophy to my CV.

I earned my associates and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science over 20 years ago. I've been working as a software engineer/database administrator/data analyst ever since. I have considered pursuing my masters in Computer Science at several points, but each time chose to pursue certifications instead. Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering. Yes, I'm a rocket scientist. Nice. One of my former coworkers originally pursued a doctorate in Physics. His dissertation was on Rocket Plume Dispersion (got into programming while working on missile guidance systems)...we used to joke with customers that although a project wasn't rocket science, we had one just in case.

In response to your actual degree, my mother never finished her degree and makes a ton of money as a performance tester/white hat hacker. She only has certifications. It's pretty awesome that you can work in IT with certifications.

BA in Secondary Education, double major (English & History). BA in Visual Communication, Graphic Design. Master's in Linguistics. Altogether 9 years in University... and I'm currently unemployed. Mainly because I'm looking after my Dad.

I majored in Game Art and Animation and graduated in 2012. I quickly realized how unappealing the field is (crunch time sounds ridiculous. I've read about a few AAA games that have had 12-16 hour work days for 2-3 months, weekends included. I'm sure that's illegal, and you can complain about it all you want, but the field is small and you risk alienating yourself. There's enough people wanting in that you're more than replaceable. On top of that, once a game is finished you're probably going to get laid off, unless it makes enough to warrant a sequel) unless you're willing to go into indie games and risk not making much money. I wouldn't mind working on the community side of things, but the development side just sounds like hell and most people going into the field only last a few years.
I still wanted to do something art related, so I found a part time Graphic Design job and did substitute teaching on the side. Didn't mind the Graphic Design job, but there wasn't too much room for advancement at the place I was working at. I discovered I really enjoyed teaching (My great grandpa was a teacher and my mom is a teacher, so I guess it's in the blood). Ended up leaving both jobs, packed up, and moved to South Korea to teach.
Whenever I decide to move back to the US, I want to go back and get my master's in either Art Education or Elementary Education. I think I would enjoy Art a lot more, but more and more schools are also cutting art from their curriculum, so I'm not sure how job security would be. I've heard I could still teach art with an Elementary Education degree and it would be more rounded, which means more job opportunities. We'll see. I'm in Korea for at least another year, so I'll worry about that bridge when I cross it.
