TITLE: Infinite Degree Algebraic Field Extensions
QUESTION [18 upvotes]: In I. Martin Isaacs Algebra: A Graduate Course, Isaacs uses the field of algebraic numbers $$\mathbb{A}=\{\alpha \in \mathbb{C} \; | \; \alpha \; \text{algebraic over} \; \mathbb{Q}\}$$ as an example of an infinite degree algebraic field extension. I have done a cursory google search and thought about it for a little while, but I cannot come up with a less contrived example. 
My question is

What are some other examples of infinite degree algebraic field extensions?

REPLY [2 votes]: Let $\{n_1,n_2,...\}$ be pairwise coprime, nonsquare positive integers. Then $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{n_1},\sqrt{n_2},...)$ is an algebraic extension of infinite degree.
