Depends in the country where you live and the branch. I got a bachelor's degree more than ten years ago, but so far it has been worthless for me as I'm a developer. In my company, they care about the knowledge and the work experience I have, not my degree.
For example, if you are a doctor, your degree is important and basically you can't do anything without a degree from a university.
Still, I think work experience matters more than a degree.
