    It depends entirely on two factors, how good your work is and what kind of work you want to do.

    A chap i know did a diploma, freelanced for a few years and got hired on the back of his work to a really good studio. Did some lovely work there then decided to set up on his own. Now still doing lovely work and not really caring that he didn't do a degree or a masters cos it never impeded his talent.

    Whereas i know people I went to college with that haven't work in design due to folios or talent or whatever.

    If you're good, go find an employer that will respect that.
