If you ever want to work overseas it helps the visa process. Likewise, if you ever want to do something other than programming, having a degree usually helps. For instance, I wanted to teach a programming class at the university extension in my hometown, but they wouldn't let me because I do not have a master's degree. They wouldn't have even bothered telling me that if I didn't have a bachelor's degree.
