Started out in geology, but couldn't understand inorganic chemistry.
Tried computer graphics software programming next; couldn't understand calculus.
Got a 2-year AAS in Drafting Technology right when the oil bust hit Houston in 1984; couldn't get a job.
Went back to school on parent's dime since they were offering and got a BA in Graphic Design and Liberal Arts. Found out I couldn't stand working with clients that wanted the Moon for the price of a burger. I did have a great job as the Graphic Artist for a computer game company only to learn they always laid everyone off just after Christmas, even my job.
Took more drafting classes in the early years of CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) but hardly any companies were using the software yet. Architects all did their own CAD and oil bidness was very much into nepotism.
Was unemployed for a couple of years and did lots of cooking and baking during that time. Found I had a knack for it and took pastry and baking classes. Had one fairly good pastry cook job for a year at $7 an hour and that was the most I was ever paid in the food industry for the next couple of years, when I could find work at all.
Took another class in AutoCAD as I was working as a DJ at a commercial station in transition between formats and finally got back into drafting. Ten years later all this schooling and on-the-job-training got me the position of Sr Piping Mapper :D

So, to answer the question, I have one and a half degrees and five majors
