Even 30 years ago my BS in biology was worthless except as a ticket into grad school.

“Even 30 years ago my BS in biology was worthless except as a ticket into grad school.”
Also largely true of mine 45 years ago - except for research tech and medical product sales jobs (I did both).

I could still use my BA in Molecular Biology today, but the math skills acquired in the process of earning the BA have been invaluable. I had to wrap my head around doing digital signal processing as part of my software tasking. It was an easy transition. Another assignment required some fairly intricate trigonometry. Again, no big deal. I did take the GRE and department exam for graduate work at SDSU in microbiology. I erred in pursuing grad school as aggressively as my BA. 16 units of grad work and 42 hours of employment each week rewarded me with pneumonia that nearly killed me.
