I dropped out of the university a day before defending my thesis — had a conflict with my supervisor. 5 full years, but still no bachelors. I shrugged it off at that point to proceed and have a 15-year career rising to a CTO in 4 years, and building several companies after. However, now I am in China as a founder of a new company, and in order to self-employ and sponsor a work visa for myself, I either have to go finish my degree or set a ridiculous salary which is roughly 30x times country average wage. So if you plan on working in other countries, lack of a degree may pose some difficulties.
