Knowing that, in an interview, I won't be asked why I don't have a degree, has been at least 90% of the value of mine.

It might vary by region, but here in Europe I haven't been asked that ever in my 7 years in IT.
I don't even have "Education" paragraph in my resume, just skills and experience.
In my case, the teacher "forgot" to give me the final for one of them, and only gave me the mid-term. Months later, they "discovered" that and made me take it then to keep my credit.
I said, "Give me the test right now." I took it, passed with flying colors.
They still didn't look happy. I'm still half-convinced they were trying to trip me up. Their classes were the easiest I have ever taken and I got a 4.0 GPA there. I knew I was just going for the paper, though, so it didn't bother me.
Joke's on me. That paper has never actually helped me get a job. sigh
