I have a somewhat different perspective. I'm a lawyer (I know everyone is shocked and never suspected
). These are programs that I have for hobbies, etc., but of which I have made fairly extensive use in my practice:
Adobe Photoshop CS6
Adobe Premiere CS4
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Audition CS4 and CS6
These are just the "artsy" programs in my arsenal; I use a lot of other stuff in my practice as well.
The point is, you'd be surprised what skills come in handy in ostensibly unrelated professions.
