I think it depends a lot on what you're looking to achieve in your career.
My degree is in Economics, a bit of Business as well.
The business & marketing side of it helped a lot with entrepreneurial initiatives, which is my main driver in tech.
The economics & statistics side of my course provided a basis for wrapping my head around machine learning.
Years ago I developed an autonomous software to track corporate investment announcements on the web. Kind of "Tesla is opening a new manufacturing facility in Germany". I extracted the data using NLP and organize info in a searchable database with company name, HQ address, target country, type of investment, etc. I sold this info to people interested in it.
Having an economics background was key to this experience. But it might be useless to most developers...
