I believe, you do not need a degree to get a job if you are good at something. to prove the statement let me tell you a story(A true story) of a guy whom i met in a technical meetup.
On first look, i found him very simple looking and very good at programming but not very confident. so during the conversation with him he told me about him and his story is been quite motivational to me as well.
He used to work in a computer cafe and there is when he got his first desire to learn programming language after he saw some guys discussing and coding in his cafe, then he learned HTML, JavaScript by help of these guys and from google and different free resources. and finally got his job as UI developer in very small scaled company where he used to get Rs. 4000. I sure was good with technologies and eager to learn new things, he learned ReactJS which was new to that time, As for degree Initially he did not had degree but he did distance BCA for a degree and later on got job in very good MNC company.
Here is what is learned from this is:
Hope this answer will help you.
Happy coding!!
