AIBU to think you can't have a good career without a degree?

I moved to the UK alone when I was 18 and didn't have any financial support so studying was never an option.

Then I worked my way up slowly while paying for professional qualifications to get ahead and currently I earn an ok salary and I'm past the entry level/graduate level job stage.

AIBU to think not having a degree might stop me at having a good career at some point? I work in marketing if that makes a difference.

If you don't have a degree have you ever felt like it might stop you/encountered any issues with getting promoted etc?

I think a degree is a waste of time and effort, unless you're in medicine, or a vet. For everything else, get an apprenticeship.
