Getting a degree simply indicates to the market that you have the ability to learn and the mental building blocks to start learning the ropes.

Until you do it, you don’t know how to do it. In other words, juniors fumble around and make lots of mistakes - that’s how they get good.

I took networking, os, data structures, etc. in my degree.

It taught me a lot more than "how to learn".

Looks like it hasn't even taught you that.
