    I've lost count of the number of times I have had discussions with designers who have degrees but no knowledge of typography etc.

    It's so hard to judge, but I would say my year long 'apprenticeship' in the industry, thousands of hours study and 13 years experience should more than make up for the lack of a piece of paper.

    Unfortunately that lack of paper keeps me out of the running for about 85% of jobs. Shouldn't your experience and folio count for more than a degree???
