If what you say is true, I expect primary industry plays a significant role. Vocal software companies certainly do not enforce such requirements. Not even the big ones like Google and Facebook. If you are writing software for a company that makes, say, shoes, maybe things are different. You might even need to have a degree to get a job as a driver in the shoe company, as a result of their overall business culture. I'd love to look over the numbers if you still have them handy.
