Agreed entirely with everything you said. I have no degree but my employer saw potential and was happy to train me on the job, including guiding me through getting actual industry standard certs. I get an impression that a degree is much more of a necessity in the US than anywhere else and I’m not in the US, so that should be noted I think, but still if you have potential, knowledge, passion and a willingness to learn (they go hand in hand), and most importantly some actual real life experience, you can be attractive to the right employer.
