I'm a developer at Microsoft and I don't have any of those degrees. And neither does almost half my team. It might take more time working for small places to get the experience, but it does seem like there are plenty of us.
Yeah, I don't have a CS degree, and it took awhile before I was able to get the high paying jobs. But now with over 12 yrs exp I also work jobs that "require" degrees. I think the experience trumps the degree, I know my pay is higher than a new CS graduate.
