In my experience in the tech industry, experience counts much more than a degree. When I'm hiring, I ignore the education section. The industry is full of self-taught programmers who were programming since middle school. Most computer science freshmen came in already knowing how to code well and getting a degree is just a formality--a check box. In that case, why should their education even factor in the job market?
And if you don't have work experience to speak of, make something! A website, an iPhone app, code hosted on GitHub, etc, speaks volumes. In all honesty, I'm more likely to hire based on that than your resume.
