You also cant have a degree in zoology to work for the CIA either. Im pretty sure it would have to be somewhat focused, as well as having some knowledge of foreign affairs.

I agree not everyone wants to work for the defense sector, and I did not mean to imply that. I just stated it as an example, because that's the industry I know best, at the moment.
Some people want to have better possibilities than unloading packages for the UPS, or working in Shop rite, so they go to college. It opens up a door to just apply to some other place. Mere application does not guarantee success though. Now, before some smart ass decided to fail at reading, I'm not saying that a degree is necessary to amount to something, but it certainly HELPS, by opening up certain doors. Hell, you need a 4 year degree to apply at target to be an assistant manager. If you can have 25 years of experience and no degree, you will NOT be considered. That 25 year experience will get you 8.50 an hour right about now, if you're lucky to be hired.
As far as zoology goes, you're wrong - to a degree. There are some jobs within those agencies that do NOT care what your degree is in, but they will want one anyways. So yea, you can major in Music, and still work there. You just need a skill that's valuable, language for example.
