I gained various degrees of competence, from so-so to expert, in many areas
during my business career, a few
peripherally related to my degree, most not at all related.
Early on, I asked my boss to approve company payment for a course in corporate
finance, He declined on the grounds that
it wasn't job related. Years later, after doing all the financials for a joint
venture, a major piece of the financials
for an LBO and other such tasks, I pointed out his error. He claimed not to
remember. :-)
