Instead of looking at it from the perspective of "Is this a requirement to get me to where I want to go...?"
Look at it from the perspective of "If I do not have this, will it hinder me from getting to where I want to go...?"
You would never be declined from a position or not sought out for one if you had a degree rather than not having one.https://vWrong.com - Microsoft Certified Trainer 2013-2018 - VMware vExpert 2014-2018 - Cisco Champion 2018 - http://linkedin.com/in/j23evan/ -

This is very true - and at least at the bachelors level it is not like being "overqualified" with regards to work experience or even certifications. I think one reason this question is even asked is because a degree falls outside of those primarily work related items. It may be a little bit of an overstatement, but a degree, to many people, says more about who you are than what you do.WGU - BS IT: ND&M | Start Date: 12/1/12, End Date 5/7/2013

Call of Duty helped me get a job a few years ago. Manager asked me if I played any games online and when I brought up COD we started talking about weapons and perks. So sometimes it is just personality that gives you that edge
I wonder, then, if it would be useful to bring up Star Trek: Armada.
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

My previous employer(4yrs ago) was a small start-up. The most important interview question was, "Do you play any games?" Out of almost 50 people, only a handful were not active gamers. We had to know who we wanted on our teams for FPS Game Fridays
