Application of Mind (AoM) is of prime importance in any job.
Degree(s) and knowledge without AoM is worthless. I had no choice

Want to add one more thing. I have worked for 10+ years in a Fortune
500 Telecom R&D labs. Some of the better software engineers, had
MS/Ph.Ds in disciplines that had nothing to do with traditional
computer science curriculum. The HR in that company was open to
inviting people with "potential" (the interview process was quite
grilling).
