You'de be really surprised how irrelevant a major and degree can be - for example I used to work with an engineer who carries a highly technical PhD and required extensive assistance with even the simplest tasks (often hour+ just to understand the ask and then more time on engineering a solution) - and I also had an art major intern who really just wanted to be a dropshipper who devoured any work I gave them and delivered amazing stuff.
