Don't worry too much about degrees and stuff in a web developer, many people including myself are self taught.
Sorry, but, ehm...

Do worry about degrees. Self-taught programmers can be great, but most lack knowledge about functioning as part of a team, following good coding practices, etc.

Even with a great self-taught programmer, chances are you're gonna have trouble making him function inside an organization. Also, when you switch to another programmer, and need new code integrated with your old code, it's very likely that the old code will need extensive rewrites.
