    I think to most people a degree only proves that you are trainable. I'm a firm believer in education, but I think getting a degree will help you more with life skills than with finding a job.

    In the 4 years I was in school, I was taught very little that applies to the work I do. Everything important I know I learned on my own because I was motivated to do so.

    Basically, a degree may get you an interview, but its the portfolio that gets you a job. Still I would recommend both if its possible.

    Also I may not know what the hell I'm saying cuz I've only been out of school for 2 years now.
