I did it (Score 1)

I have no degree and work as a corporate systems administrator for a billion dollar company. I started off attending a local community college with plans to transfer to a four-year school. As part of my community college classes I interned in the IT department of a mill for this company. After the intern time was through, I was asked to stay on to help with a project. From there I became an independent contractor for a couple of years and then was hired on. Over the past few years I've worked my way up to being one of two systems administrators that handle the corporate level systems. I never finished even finished community college. I have to thank my internship for getting my foot in the door, but I've made it to this level without a degree.
