Depends on the field. For example, in IT, competence can be tested. Especially when a large percent of job positions aren't filled with people that got a degree in that field. I have dev colleagues with psychology degrees and whatnot and one that only finished highschool, that are better programmers than others I know that do have an IT college degree. Good programmers are hard to come by, and the main aspect that makes you one isn't a college degree at all.
