I have a small company developing software in the mental health area. College degree provides a convenient filter for us in hiring. The percentage of quality applicants without a degree is just so low we don't even look at their applications at all.
Are there tech companies that do things differently? Absolutely. But you'd never get an interview with us or anyone like us without a degree. And there are a lot of businesses like us. It's up to you whether passing that filter for certain kinds of jobs is worth finishing your degree.
