Not that old but I started in the late 90s without a degree.
Hasn't hurt my career so far, the people my level are a mix of degree/no degree.
Had to go back and fill in the theory I missed over time as I've needed it occasionally.
I still hold that programming for the real world should be taught as an apprenticeship, throwing people from CS into a software developer role is just unfair.
