Will vouch for this. Sure, you can make your way in tech based on your skills without a degree but there will be limits you face if you really want to be adventurous.

I'm currently enjoying an opportunity that involved foreign relocation which was really only possible because of the degree. Literally, I had to fly the original diploma certificate out here with me and present it to immigration officials.

I felt my degree was worth it when it enabled me to get this job about 7 years ago. I feel it's worth has only increased since taking this particular position last spring.
