Honestly, yeah, it'll probably come up. I started as a Comp Sci major, and switched to creative writing with a linguistics minor. I once had a client who was asking about doing a translation of their site in Navajo, and I knew enough about the language to know where to go to find a translator specializing in it. Other things that I learned in school that have come up at one point or another: trigonometry, Zipf functions, philosophy (logic, mostly), technical writing, Pascal, Cobol, Spanish, German, economics, chemistry, geology, etc., etc.
Now whether that's because I bounced around a lot, or confirmation bias, or whatever, is TBD. But I've always found that anything I've learned becomes useful at some point.
