I have a BBA in Marketing and I've spent my entire professional life in sales. I am currently transitioning to a market development role in the medical device field. So the short answer is yes.
In any field a degree will only get you in the door. From there it is all about reputation and networking. I have several friends who work for medical device and equipment companies with varying degrees that have no connection with what they do. To give you an example, the district sales manager ($300k+ per year) for my company has a degree in history and openly talks about how he hated college. His degree got him an interview but it was his work ethic and desire to succeed that got him to where he is.
