But currently hold a Bachelor in Economics... with a concentration in Information Technology.
I have been a self-taught programmer and somewhat geeky before University but _really_ enjoyed economics in my last two senior high-school years.
It made sense to me to combine what I enjoyed/was interested in with what I could do already.
The only thing is that one may not 'fit' within what employers would expect from a retainer of that degree. I often had to look for a position that fit closely or make one for myself.
If the College/University you go to allows flexibility to engage in other disciplines (Geographic Information Science like above, Social Sciences, whatever) it can be _much_ more interesting.
The jobs I have done span pretty much my interests.
