I agree fully with that especially with the high tech world. A friend of mine works for a very large high tech company. He has been there over 10 years and they ended up telling him that they would promote him further, but he needed to get a degree first. He has an AA and can do everything this new job would require, but they want him to have a bachelors before they promote him. So he is going back to school. Having a degree of any kind is big door opener for sure.
