I got a degree in economics and finance and haven't found it to be worthless.

I probably didn't need a degree to do any of the jobs that I've had -most stuff is learned on the job, right? But to get many jobs they require degrees so I'm glad I have one.

so it's a stem degree

It isn't. Finance is almost always a Bachelor's of Business Administration and Economics. I dual-majored in Finance and Accounting but Finance wasn't a STEM degree, and that's perfectly OK because it is an incredibly useful degree that allowed me to land a great job with well above average pay right out of undergrad which I am at currently as I type this sentence.

I wouldn't call it a stem degree at all. I went to a small liberal arts college and spent much more time reading enlightenment philosophy than playing with complex math equations.
