The main thing with college degrees is simply to get your foot in the door, as one responder said, if you've got something from a community college that'll be good enough to get you into the queue in most places. Next up, is being able to describe situations where you worked on a team doing software development, and how you handled things like unclear specifications, irascible colleagues or constantly changing priorities. Software development is a team game, we need to see how you fit into that team. Lastly then is your technical abilities, and this might be assessed at more of a system level than a coding level. If you've got this, but miss the other areas then you'll find it harder to progress to an offer. Just my two cents from sitting in on plenty of interviews over the years.
