If the career you want to pursue requires a degree to either be interviewed or hired then you need a degree. If you are able to get on the job experience in the career path you want without a degree then one is not required.

You're correct. It's unfortunate that in most cases the degree requirement is just laziness on the part of HR and hiring managers, allowing them to shrink the pool of applicants by some arbitrary means and thereby make their jobs easier. They end up overlooking non-degreed candidates who might be more effective in the role.
