"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."
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
I agree with that, this requires certain mindset and skill, however I have seen some dismissing attitude from HR "specialists" and alike while real world seems to be quite different

You make your education not your school.
