I have a bachelors, masters, and a bit of doctoral work in music performance (guitar).
While music is pretty far from CS, you do learn a lot about how to tackle and break down problems from music theory/analysis courses. In short, I feel like my music degrees taught me a lot about how to learn.
Knowledge you pick up in school is nice. But I'd say the real thing people get out of any degree program is some insight into how they learn. Those skills can happily be applied to any subject.
