You will
Most airlines don't care if your degree is from Yale, UNC, or the smallest school down the street. All they care about is that you have one. Getting a job in avaition is about who you know. All the degree does is check off another point for qualification.
Sometimes you still need to meet all of the requirements to land the job. They can't bend the rules all the time. Let's face it, the degree requirement was made my some HR executive who thought it would be a good idea. It doesn't mean you can't fly better that someone who does have one.
Some airlines do realize that and will hire you anyway. I personally got a job last month with no degree at all. My choices of airlines were limited. I would have loved to be on with one of the other airlines but they bump the requirements for non-degree people. I have 6 more credits for my A.S. and I plan to follow the same path. You will find a job in this business in just about any configuration, however, having your 4 year degree will open up more options.
I agree with everyone else. You should explore your degree in something you will enjoy doing when you are furloughed. The companys who chooses the Yale grad vs. the small school are few and far between. Every HR person I talked to says it's more of who you know but if the market is good and they can discriminate against qualifications, they will.
