i can't speak for a degree in data analytics but i have met a few people that have had a specialized degree for business or something technological and have built careers on something that is only partially related to their degree. ive noticed that companies, and most people that are hiring actually, care more about the fact that you went to an institution and succeeded. even companies in third world countries need people who are trained in computers, maybe data analytics or maybe something a little different.
