Well, my company, an enterprise agile dev consulting firm, could really care less if you had a degree.

My guess is that most places you REALLY want to work won't care where your degree is from. Work on cool stuff, share what you do on github, and look for ways to learn and grow. It will be evident.

So if they could care less, they do care a little?

No, they don't care. I have heard them say to college interns that they should stop spending money on school so they can work sooner.
