I have no degree at all (unless an art degree counts for something) and I transitioned from web development to a different sphere (cloud / backend engineering). I decided to switch and within a year I'd acquired enough skills to get interviews in my chosen field. Granted, I'm not working at the sexy companies, but I'm not interested.
