I don't think it matters what degree you have. What matters is whether you know how to write and can give editors what they need.

My only degree, a BBA, is in accounting. My writing career began after 8 years as an auditor and financial analyst. I took two creative writing courses in college -- that's the only formal training in writing that I ever got. Yet I still managed to build a very good career as a writer.

Degrees don't matter. Skills do.
