I don't have a degree mostly by choice. I spend a great deal of my free time researching things either related to what I do, or just stuff I'm interested in generally(philosophy, science stuff.. specifically biology.. religions.. history..) and thus can't justify spending 20k/yr doing it when buying $500 worth of books each year + paying my internet bill is cheaper and I'm still learning a lot. With that said, a lot of the most successful people I know either dropped out of college or just have a diploma... and some of the biggest piles of scum just have a diploma. It's an individual thing. Either you've got the drive and ambition to succeed or you don't. A degree isn't going to change that.
However, at some point in the next 4-5 years, I plan to get a masters in philosophy from a decent school, as I feel it'd give me a lot better critical thinking skills. I come from a family of entrepeneurs/small business owners and was always curious/around as a kid, so don't feel I need to get a degree in business or something similar.
