You can start something different, but you need to show that you have the background to succeed. It may be from courses, from job experience, from your own activities. Many people enter masters’ programs in computer science from other degree programs. You usually need a good math background, or you will have to take some remedial courses. You should have some programming background, of course. There are many business programs that require a degree in anything, plus some math background. Teaching is another popular degree to pick up in grad school. Law schools accept any undergrad degree, no restrictions. Many people cross back and forth between physics and electrical engineering, also. That is very common.
