I was never asked for a degree or any kind of paper on interviews, all that mattered was my portfolio and my tech blog, experience is more valuable. Also the time gained helped me learn way faster what I was really interested in, web development. Most of my colleagues with degrees are now taxi drivers or have a regular job because even if they had a degree they lacked experience that was far more important for the employers than any kind of paper. I had very high paid jobs and now I'm working on my own startup, in the IT world where information is very accessible and is very easy to learn without needing a middle man, you can have a very big advantage by using the time lost in college in a more productive way. Learn on your own or by internship, experience matters the most and every year of experience matters, don't lose any.
