if you were a kid straight out of high school with a great portfolio of design you'd done for yourself then theres little chance youd be snapped up by a design company (unless your work really was amazing).
the reason places like you to have a degree is that the process of getting a degree teaches you about presenting your work, talking it through and taking (sometimes harsh) criticism from lecturers and peers about your work.
this helps mature your attitude towards the work that you do and make you realise that the final design you do of something may not be the FINAL design.
your senior designers/md's/clients may f*ck abotu with it until its lost so much of your original idea lol. but what they says goes.a BA degree definitely isnt needed to get a job in the design industry.
- good portfolio
- good attitude
- dedication
- passion
is what is mainly looked for
