If anything, I suspect you'll experience precisely the opposite.
Certainly, as I've gained more experience, I've found my degree
to be pretty much irrelevant when it comes to finding work.
Experience is everything, and except for new graduates, formal
qualifications mean little. Think of it as spending 3 years buying
yourself a hold on the bottom rung of the ladder. From there you
can move up, but without a degree, it's much harder to even get
to that starting point.
