I have a Bachelor's degree in music and a Master's in computer science. 
Most people find that a strange combination, but I've been told that
math, music, and computer science require similar skills.  Programming
seems to involve many of the same skills as writing a classical
composition -- a mixture of analytical and creative capabilities. 
There's something about pattern matching going on too.

Several musician friends are also lawyers.  Is there a real connection
between these professions? Or are the examples I could site just
instances of bright people who could do anything they wanted?
