I may be lucky, or I may be ignorant, but thus far not having a degree at all hasn't particularly impaired me. I think it's interesting that there's nothing equivalent to a professional engineering qualification for software. Worst case, hiring people for a few months to do some software development and being able to say "They developed some software" would be a useful thing to look up rather than conducting the spanish whiteboard inquisition every time.
