Would having a non-Tech degree make me less qualified than someone who has no degree? Of course not. It proves I can do the drudge work necessary to earn a degree, without which I must fall back on testimonials.
They have an MFA. That's a hell of a lot of hard work. Proves they are capable of doing hard work.
I don't see what the problem is here.
EDIT: Received a BA, magna cum laude, and MFA, summa cum laude. That's impressive regardless of the field. That's "succeed at all costs".
EDIT: Changed BS to degree in the first paragraph because I have no clue wtf makes something BA or BS. It's an arbitrary division that's used primarily as a weapon to disrespect women and is not a valid distinction of "intelligence" or "science-capable" or "technical-capable" in the modern era in any way whatsoever.
