Speaking in the tech field, I don't really believe it is necesary to hold a degree, but for the majority of the remaining job fields, I think it is. Many jobs won't even consider you unless you meet their requirements, IE a degree. In order to 'represent yourself' without a degree, you'd have to be extremmely talented AND pretty lucky. Even though you may constantly get fired, having a degree at least gives you the oppertunity to get in the door in the first place.
