As someone who got a liberal arts degree and is now a self-taught designer-developer in tech, the degree isn't as important as the ability to know how to learn, think for yourself, and teach yourself, something that college greatly reinforces. That being said, after working with many developers with and without degrees, a lot of you need to read more books and learn how to write. If you can teach yourself how to code, you can teach yourself how to communicate effectively and understand symbolism.
