I dont think it helps you very much today... except like I said in germany and maybe on some other companies worldwide it is a min-requirement but for such a specialist that will most likely get applications from companies for starting a job I dont thinkt he would earn 1 dollar more or less with or without that grade.
maybe if he gets older and needs still work because he did not get rich or he lost the money or something maybe in 20 years that matters.
I have a diplom but today I even regret it a bit... you set maybe some wrong expectations... and you get older both helps you not by finding a job.
Maybe I get discriminated by my weight, thats not illigal here for that reason and even if it would be try too proofe that ^^.
here in germany job experience is basicly all if you have it you get a job if you dont its basicly excepted that you make more or less salary-free prakticas first... or again like I said if you are very lucky have a business appearence and have specialiest one some old garbage technology like java or even better even if you are retarded if you are willing to do SAP you will get a good payed job. But I have some self-respect so I am instead diplom-unemployed for some years now.
thing is, that learning about stuff (as in, what's possible, what's out there in programming) and having at lest decent understanding of algebra and statistics helps, if only so that you know how to benchmark properly

As for your current job situation obvious I dont know your background or what you do with your time, but the one thing I would say is you probably need to be more proactive. Aside from a degree the best thing you can have on your resume these days is a reference to some open source contributions, it shows you are both passionate about programming and have a willingness to learn. Setup an account at https://www.ohloh.net/ so that you can easily track your contributions and you can then give one link in you resume that potential employers can look at.
If your looking for a project to get started with I would gladly offer some suggestions. Being unemployed you have a big advantage here as you should have the time to rack up some considerably large contributions. Myself working full time and having a family I find it hard to find the time to contribute regularly however even my small contribution have helped both getting jobs and even recently I was contacted out of the blue by Google for a phone interview without ever applying for a job.

In big companies' R&D departments you need a degree, and if you want to progress anywhere, a PhD is a must.
Besides, not everyone goes to a university because they want more money. There is intrinsic value in learning.
