I definitely don't believe a degree is necessary. I work for a large company as a Senior (Linux) Systems Administrator at age 26. Most of the guys I work with don't have degrees. I went right into work and jumped companies and got promotions through hard work and self teaching. I agree that for some people it can be very beneficial but a degree is in no way indicative of your skill set and ability.
