What should I do when my entire education is centered completely out of the tech industry, in areas such as Philosophy or Sociology or Music? Should I still list these degrees on my resume or no?

16,657 PointsI would say definitely list them, just add them at the bottom. When I create my resume, I try to put myself in the position of the hiring manager. What information would I want to know first? Relevant experience (jobs, projects, education) in the industry then other relevant experience toward the bottom. I was a teacher (elementary education) and now I'm a software developer so it's based on my experience changing industries and being in kind of the same place.
