A few decades after the fact, it seems that some of the "general ed" classes were among the most important. I hated speech and english classes. Go figure, it doesn't matter how good your ideas and tech skills are if can't communicate them clearly. Statistics was incredibly dry; but it's useful to understand how numbers are presented. Hell, you need a class or two in organic chemistry, just to read a food label, these days.
You'll pick up the majority of your main skillset on the job, anyway. The degree just proves you are trainable.
