No. Now you might find that you can get a basic job now and by the time your degree would have finished you'll have got that 2 years of experience that all the jobs ask for. Personally I'd say go for the degree but don't expect it to help *overly* much in getting a job. Degree's are worth doing for far better reasons than getting a better job.
