I think the industry is changing in this way. A few big companies are no longer requiring you to have degree. Your degree can't guarantee them that you are fully qualified for the job you are applying for. But there a few things to have in mind. For me, being software developer it's not the same as being software engineer. The engineering implies you can handle advanced calculus, some physics, software architecture, etc; to deliberate solutions. But to be able to do so you don't require a degree, you only have to study (in the university or on your own) and gain experience. The matter of the questions is if that paper, that says you have studied in a university and you finished the career, still matters to get a job in our industry.
I only studied one year of computer science, but to the date I have learned a lot of things related to the computer science degree. As tux0r says, they won't pay you more for your degree, that only happens in my country when you work for the public administration, you receive an extra for your tittles. They will pay you for your experience.
