I got an undergrad in geography for GIS. It’s been super useful in some ways and not in others. Useful because the degree path itself and some networking gave me multiple internships that made my resume look great when job hunting.
However, my job that I’m in now doesn’t use much, if any, of my degree. I’m still doing GIS work, but in that world there’s usually only the one software anyone uses (similar to artists = Adobe in a way). The fact that my current job doesn’t use this one software does put me behind if/when I want to change jobs or seek out a masters. But for now, I’m comfortable so meh.
