To those of you without a degree or other educational achievements, there are things more important than those.
Experience trumps all. Once you build up your CV, that will get you into job interviews.
If you don’t have experience, you need to get yourself a portfolio. If you are art-based, show off what you can do online, whether it is in Maya, or pencil.
If you are a programmer, you need to get yourself a GitHub account.
Yes, there will always be employers who want to go the old fashioned route, but most, in my experience, will be interested in a person that show they are passionate about this sort of thing, by actually doing it in their spare time.
