To start, yea. But depending on who you work for, lack of degree can really hurt you. If you're a contractor it can prevent you from being a full time employee with benefits and PTO (I know Verizon, among others, has this policy in place). It can also hinder you from advancing in to management type positions. Again, it all depends on the company, but a degree opens a lot of doors.
