    A more relevant response. I work for a large software company as a graphic designer. They wouldn't even have considered me had I not had a degree or comprable experience. In this case, one of my fellow designers has no degree but 20 years experience when she got hired. Another issue was that of my GPA, anything less than 3.0 and they wouldn't have hired me. So its definitely a foot in the door when you are first starting out but a bad portfolio could ruin the deal.
