I wouldn't be likely to hire an "engineer" without a degree, but in 
Canada that's effectively an oxymoron anyway.  I would certainly hire
developers without degrees if they had the necessary background and
attitude/ability/etc to fill the job.  (I've done this once so far.)

And I provide an *excellent* job for people. :)

Aahz is right.  It's not essential, but generally it helps.
