I didnt even finish my course but the company I worked for OJT took me in anyway. Now Im their main System Administrator.
Experience is a lot more valuable than that degree. Its just gonna be a piece of paper once you get hired.
In my experience, nobody cares about experience. They care who you know. I came out of college with several years of experience dealing with Windows and Linux servers, and run Linux as a full time OS at home. Nobody cared.
My friend in the military has a Senior Engineer looking to set him up as a developer at Microsoft once he leaves the Army, and he had to ask me what language/IDE he should start learning to code with.
Who you know > experience > education
Well, it does not open any extra, but in my country when I graduated w/o the degree many doors which were already opened closed on you.
