University Study Field

I studied accounting as my major field in university which is completely irrelevant to OS development. But I put a huge amount of time in learning stuff about it.

Is anyone else in the same situation?

I wouldn't worry too much about CS/IT qualifications. Tommy Flowers only had a certificate for an introductory course in Information Processing comprising DBase3+, Excel, Wordperfect 5.1, Paintbrush and Pagemaker. See http://youtu.be/JF48sl15OCg?t=55m41s. 60 years previously he had designed and built the first electronic programmable computer. Just imagine being his teacher on that IT course!

Some probably are, so? What are you looking for here?..

I want to know how many people here studied a field irrelevant to computer science.
