A good 80% of jobs out there can be performed by a trained monkey, but when employers/clients look at potential employees/contractors, why should they hire someone with no degree when there are plenty of people with one? In the same vein, why should they pay someone with no degree the same they would pay someone with one? There are no shortage of people who can work, but what firms are really interested in are people who are devoted to what they do and aren't going to flake out or hop ship at the first sign of trouble.
I don't have a degree and I make over $30k more than my wife who does have a degree.

That being said.. If I had additional money..I'd go back and finish my degree. And I don't think I would get any benefit at all from doing it other than being able to say I had one.
