Congrats on your choice to attend. I hope it works out for you.

As far as your question is concerned, I agree with many of the others here. Employers are most concerned with results. So the solid portfolio is a must. In my experience, your education tends to be up to interpretation.

I look at it this way. If there are 2 candidates with comparable portfolios, yet one of them has a degree, chances are the employer will side with that individual. A degree, in the eyes of employers, tends to imply solid time management, discipline, etc.
