While I do not argue that a degree is telling in a number of areas, there are some *excuses* reasons for NOT having a degree in the area you are seeking a position in. For example, I am NOT seeking a degree in any CS area. Why? I already have a BS, MS + 40 towards a Phd in another area. An Associates degree or BS in CS does absolutely nothing for me but waste my time and money. However, I am taking "CS" classes. The fact that I will not have a CS degree should mean nothing. What does a CS degree give me that I do not already have, provided I took the core classwork? But, the local U said I could not be granted a degree in CS based upon "only" taking the CS classes. Go figure!
