Unless you're doing heavily theoretical work, no one even thinks about your education after you have a few years of real experience under your belt. In practical terms, real experience is many times more valuable than "education". If you're going to look for a job in academia or research, then yeah, the educational background will matter. If you're going to write code that makes things work, it doesn't matter.
