It depends upon the job and the employer. Most of my education has nothing to do with the job I have now. I did take some courses over the years in computers, welding and machining that has some relevance to my current job. I have an associates and a bachelors in liberal arts and work as a mechanical engineer. My work is so proprietary in nature that there is no way you could learn any of it in school. My employer wants people who are creative and can think out of the box and be organized enough to make it all happen.

It can help show more rounded interests, and point out strengths
that aren't otherwise apparent. In a lot of cases, they're pretty
cheap to pick up too - for example computer science and mathematics
heavily overlapped where I was last in school.
