re: Survey: Does your college degree actually apply to your current career/job?.....

Unless your job is specific to a subject, (eg, forestry, medicine, programming, engineering, etc.) then most businesses look for a college degree because to obtain a degree one must be disciplined enough to study, research, and apply what they learn on the job.
The average high school dropout does not have these traits.
Some of the best sales people come from science fields because they are disciplined to learn and apply what they learn.
I majored in Marketing and minored in Finance. Then an MBA in Business prepared me for founding and running my own company. But it also prepared me to recognize the people that could work for my business and help make it successful.

So, a degree should prepare you to learn in the real world and become successful in most any field.
