After all that, I ended up in the computer industry straight out of college and never formally used my college education (I learned computers in the Navy and on my own, plus I worked for NCR Computer Research while in college).

Academically, I would say that the Humanities program I was in was excellent (Art History, Anthropology, Philosophy, Linguistics, etc.), and I use what I learned in Statistics classes (not a part of my major/minor) almost every day of my life.
