need to get a degree ASAP
Why? Other than to get your very first job it has very limited value other than yourself esteem. A degree may be relevant if you are going through an agency for the first time but it unlikely that an employer will be very interested. Experience and accomplishment are the things that will get you further employment. Unless of course you need the degree for a totally unrelated reason.
