Nearly every job I've gotten past the age of 17 listed a degree as a requirement. I have about as much college now as I had when I was 17, which is to say, almost none. Considering that I've never had trouble finding employment, I think that a degree being listed as a requirement in the job ad is quite often another meaningless bullet point that will be overlooked if you are attractive enough otherwise. (obviously, there's some pretty strong observer bias here; the companies where that really was a hard and fast rule wouldn't have approached me, or wouldn't have given me an interview if I approached them. Still, I find that 'required' doesn't actually mean 'required' in many cases.)
