Also self taught and no degree. If this helps you get motivated: I worked for UBS, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, etc. No one ever asked me about my degree. They were all interested in what I can do for them. Judging by other comments this is pretty much the norm. All you need is passion and time.
