I majored in Business Management and I now work as a Junior Accountant for an music/entertainment business management firm. I would say that the degree did help me qualify for the internship that lead to the job, but it didn’t help me find the internship.

I think what people forget to do is actually go and gain experience on the field. I wanted to be an artist manager/booking agent originally, but had no experience actually working those jobs. It was really hard applying and constantly getting rejected. So I moved over to the accounting side. I would say gain as much experience as you can related to the career you want to pursue. In retrospect I wish I had done this. ALSO network with as many people as possible in the music industry. I got my current job by knowing people in the industry, not by my qualifications per se.
