I think attitude has a lot to do with getting a job. People can sense of you feel you are a "failure" and don't want to hire a "failure". You go in with a positive "I can and will do anything to get the job done" attitude and it works wonders. I've done a LOT with my career with very LITTLE formal qualifications. But, I work hard, learn a lot constantly and I am NOT afraid to take risks and for someone to tell me "no". A degree with great, but it's not going to make a successful career. Your attitude will.
