They are likely intimidated by you; imagine they see skills in your CV than make them feel inferior and likely worried you might either take their job or get promoted higher faster. People are that selfish. Just remove your other field qualifications from your CV, start a "consulting company" in Delaware for 500 bucks for a year, list it as your employer, and you'll be hired.

My own observation is that, among people who can't program, programming is viewed as sort of a semi-skilled bricklayer type task and a CS degree is an expensive vocational training program that covers when to use different sorts of bricks and what color bricks go best with what other color bricks. What they're looking for is not educational experience or ability to grow, but a demonstrated willingness to lay lots of bricks down, really fast.
