Lots of programmers no longer have to go to a 4 year college, they can learn how to code for free on KZread, and the personal projects you create is viable on your resume and on interviews. Companies don't care about your degree, if you show you have a good knowledge of programming and also still open minded and wanting to learn they'll hire you.
