Infinite Degree Algebraic Field Extensions 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?


$\mathbb Q[\sqrt 2, \sqrt 3, \sqrt 5, \cdots]$, obtained by adjoining the square root of the primes, is an example because if you use just $n$ primes, you get an extension of degree $2^n$.
