Degrees really don't matter as much as they used to. I was getting all these really good web jobs and beating out people with degrees simply cuz I had more web work experience rather than just someone who took a bunch o' classes. Colleges at the time were so behind when it came to the web that the stuff they were teaching was already outdated by a good year or two. :o
