Updated the OP. Surprised Tier 1 filled out a good bit over the last half of the thread. At first Tier 2 was absolutely dominating. It still has quite the lead, though.

This thread is basically backing up what I've seen in real life, as most people haven't made much use of their degree. The one surprise is the number of Computer Science majors that found their degree integral to their success in life, but this *is* a video game forum, so we're obviously going to have a higher number of computer nerds (I was a third of the way through a CS degree at one point), and from what I know through my dad, you can't get by just on experience like him these days lol. He only manages because he's been in the field for thirty years.

I'm contemplating breaking the results up into two more tiers: one for those who work in the same field of study as their degree but for which their degree was not required (thus their courses were at least somewhat useful) and those who work in a field unrelated to their degree but for which a degree in some form was required (thus college was a necessity either way).

Once again, thanks for all the responses guys!
