I dropped out of university with 30 credits (1 year) to go to work in porn. After coming close to hitting rock bottom, 14 years later I decided to go back. I had to take 3 semesters with a full load of 6 classes (18 credits total) to finish in a timely fashion. These aren't bullshit courses either, lots of 300 and 400 level classes and 100's of pages of papers I've had to write. I will finish with a bachelors in Political Science (with honors) this May. So yeah, it does put me a couple notches above others. Whether or not this degree with help me is besides the point; its the fact I was able to do it. However, my real world experience combined with a degree will put me above someone who is applying for the same position if I choose to go that route.
