Starting a business never requires a degree - or experience! That could also be why they have a high failure rate and only few go on to be extremely successful. Many entrepreneurs will go through several failed businesses in which they acquire more experience before "getting it right". You'll find that being hired into a high level position with no education and no experience is an extreme rarity. You'd have more luck finding leprechaun's gold.
