No, sorry it is not, your raw talent and resume is your most respected qualification.
I am constantly interviewing and hiring both systems engineers and developers. If there is a degree listed on your resume I don't even bother to read it. The same goes for certifications they mean absolutely nothing. When I interview someone I am looking for natural raw talent and a proven background.
While I agree that you don't really need a degree to be good, you do need one to make it past the HR filters at >90% employers out there.

From what I hear, there are plenty of underemployed lawyers out there too. Unless you have a pedigree, there is no free ride.
