If you have Microsoft skills, Microsoft does not require degrees for coders in Redmond or for field reps (Windows server, active directory, exchange, sql server, sharepoint, etc) around the world. Management actively fights discrimination including age discrimination. The focus is on how well a person can do the job. http://careers.microsoft.com/
Facial recognition tech is far more sophisticated than merely matching photos. I participated in a demonstration several years ago where the system had very low error rates (both Type I and Type II), despite the test subjects changing hair color, skin tones, changing facial hair, stuffing cotton in the cheeks, donning and doffing hats, glasses, etc.

With SQL Server 2005, not only is T-SQL more robust, you can write stored procedures in C/C++/C#/VB and you can do anything you need. Just need a basic T-SQL function? Code it that way for best performance. Need some processor intensive calculations? Code it in C for maximum performance... best of all worlds.
