I have a poli sci degree, about two years of CS at a community college. I am a techincal lead at post acquisition company, I started with them as an unpaid intern when the founders worked out of an apartment.

Agree 100% about "curious people who are passionate". Interviewing people that have engineering degrees, I find a lot of people I could describe as bored or not curious. Sure it's not the case for everyone, but I think an engineer without an engineering degree is naturally going to be more prone to learn outside of their job. A lot of people with CS degrees seem to think the learning part of their job is done.
