I have the thought process that a degree is not necessary, but it's a good backup plan. If for some reason the market and everything goes downhill like crazy and unemployment spikes, hopefully having a degree gives me just one more edge to stay productive and employed 😃

Sorry if this is slightly cynical, not the intent, but I just view degrees as somewhat of a safety net.
