Nope, but having a degree makes it easier.

If easier (for varying values of easier) is worth your time and money is up to you.

If you have a network of people who can get your foot in the door for a job, then no, it's not a necessity. It would be very difficult, though, to get past most HR screening without some sort of degree on your resume.
