I think it has been more of recognition that she can think on her feet and can work hard.
I'll bet that she actually has, even if you have never noticed. It's not the degree specialty that matters, it is the skills in research and constructing logical spoken and written arguments that are imbued at university that really count. Those are the real transferable skills which are of value in most, if not all, jobs.
