I have a bachelor of arts degree in mathematics because I didn't want to take a biology course required for the bachelor of science.
Works for me, as I consider mathematics more art than science (i.e. it's mostly useless), but this is probably not what you had in mind by "arts degree".
I don't apply my mathematical artistic knowledge at work. I mostly used my degree to impress employers to get programming jobs ("ooh, maths, this guy must be smart," ha, right), and I do mathematics on my own for the cold, austere beauty of it.
I've always had a respect for anyone who has a math major. In my experience (as a comp sci major) there's a strong correlation between being a math major and being smart.
