I dropped out of university halfway through my second year and never looked back.
Every job I have every held had 'requires bachelor degree' on the advertisement but I didn't have one and still got the jobs.
Before I tossed my previous career aside I was earing up to $800 a day without a degree. So you don't -need- it.
However if you don't have one, you need something else to make you appealing to an employer.
Bottom line is follow your heart. You will only need the degree if you aren't imaginative enough to find a way around it.
You can always buy one online if you want one that badly.
