You likely made the degree a deciding factor by voluntarily raising it as an issue with every single person you spoke to. In the future, I would suggest not even mentioning that you don’t have a degree (unless there’s a legal/licensing requirement for one). Simply do not include an “education” section on your resume. You’re not being dishonest, and given sufficient work experience, most people won’t even notice the section’s absence. The few that do notice, won’t care.
