I have very good economics/management degree from cool school in my country/country group, however, it makes me much better person in IT than persons with good education in the field, why? Because I care and understand much more about processes and people behind code written than average IT guy, also - I'm much more inclined to do my "homework" (research) and make solution for process not try fitting some idea in process thus making it awkward
"But what most people can’t seem to piece together is how I went from a degree where I learned medieval Welsh, recited Latin and Irish poetry, and studied Anglo-Saxon kings, to a career that seems so deeply rooted in modern technological culture: programming."
Love this stuff!
