What kind of college degrees do I need to be a music producer?

I want to be a music producer after college, I'll play the Euphonium and want to composer concert band pieces as a hobby. I want a college degree to look better on a job resume. I think I'll work for a label then later on start my own company label. What degrees would I need? I know I want to do a music major but not sure if I need a business minor or something like that.

1. none are mandatory, many producers just had an ear for music. but if you want to increase your chances, an MBA would help as well as maybe minoring in some type of music curriculum.
2. You don't need a degree for that.
3. Look for a job in a recording studio watch, learn,engineer first off then get involved with as many bands as you can helping them produce their material.Degree? you either have it or you dont, you can learn to produce but you cannot learn to be a producer.
