I'm an American. I'm applying for a permanent residence work visa in another 1st world country. My CS degree made this easy. Degrees in economics or finance would not have done so well.

Indeed. Formal degrees make a big difference there and in doing work for the government, or government influenced things/the D.C. area. Or various sorts of "mass produced" consulting, where the company is selling resumes more than anything else.

As an entrepreneur the latter shouldn't be much of an issue any time soon.
