I also think a degree is meaningless in many cases, and I am soon to have a second under my belt.
For me the most important thing was learning from someone competent in my field. It wouldn't have mattered which environment that learning took place in.
I also happen to be in a particular field where no one cares if you have a degree or not - they just care if you are good.
There are certain professions where degrees are indispensible, such as being a surgeon. That said, there are other ways to get into healing without going to medical school.
There will always be a way, always a back door open to you to do what your passion is in life.
