I think just asking for a degree (in a computer-related field) is kind of a dumb idea. I don't have a degree, and I'm very successful at my software development job. The best programmer I know has a degree in Psychology; another has a degree in Biology.
From my own experience as an interviewer, "has a degree" was absolutely not even a factor when determining who was good and who wasn't.
My degree's not from a good school?
That's nothing; your shirt didn't exactly come off the best dressed mannequin in the Sears window.
